I don't think there are any dumb questions in this sport.=)

i disagree. he probably should have reacted faster than he did, but he still made a good decision. He had plenty of altitude to deal with the problem. If throwing his pilot chute didn't fix the problem then he could have cutwaway and gone to reserve. Never try to clear a horseshoe? If you have altitude on your side then i would definitely try to clear it before just cutting away and possibly making things worse for yourself

That's probably the easiest dz to find from altitude...there's nothing else around! Where is this?

[roykuh117]

WELL SAID!!!

I think Buckeye was the guy on that one video who cut away his main before he had even pitched.. Woulda cut away his reserve but ran out of handles... XD

[texNoz]

HAHAHA It's like everyone, even the vidiot said "fuck em" we'll do our own thing.

[stepheng101]

Can anyone say line twist? I'm going to guess he had about 20. hahaha

@2wheeljunkie.. no dumb questions, but there certainly is bad instruction (buckeyefan24... no offense dude). Altitude dictates procedure... he had plenty to try and clear the pc or even an entanglement. To me the HS mal is the most dangerous because cutting away may make things worse (RSL), but dealing with it with minimal altitude can also kill you. The best way to deal with a HS is to prevent them and KNOW your EP's. I thought this guy did great! Blues

Don't clear a horseshoe are you mad? So with PLENTYof altitude he should have deployed his reserve into that mess? That could lead to a double mal and death easily. Umm you need to study your SIM again if you are even a serious skydiver. If you are not remember this....a closed mouth gathers no foot.
