Nice. Didn't think you were gonna get out of that for a second.

[eliasgerris]

Nice save dude. I would have chopped :)

How big / wingload has the canopy?

[Sobakin76]

@woodydrn2

wingload was 2.3, canopy size & type in subj.

[woodydrn2]

@Sobakin76 How often do you get linetwists on this size canopy? Looks like the right panels caught air first, and that made it spin?

[Sobakin76]

@woodydrn2

Not often, about one per 50 jumps, most of them untwisted while canopy inflating.

I've done 450 jumps on this canopy, only 2 cutaways in first 25 jumps.

This linetwist was because of too aggressive rear risers steering.

[woodydrn2]

@Sobakin76 So I guess when getting a new canopy, no playing with risers first 25 jumps :D hehe

[ShakyBones797]

You need a bigger canopy.

[skydonut]

mind your hands in those twisted risers pal

[viper19861986]

I am new at skydiving, only 10 jumps now, but it looks like you pulled on the lines before the cells were inflated? Is that what causes the line twists?

[hookitbigger]

Nice save.  I would have chopped that with no second thoughts.

[ar43r]

@hookitbigger: second that!

[viper19861986]

When i get my first line twist i hope it looks like this.....

I really dont wanna pull that reserve and i really dont wanna get to 2500 and have to pick....

If you pause at :05, you can see exactly what happened. Canopy is lookin good here, but your pullin on the rears? You may fair better easin up on the risers and using your harness to adjust headings on opening. Also, look out for your hands gettin trapped in the twists! Thanks for sharing :-)
