I know this is a stupid question...

But what do you do with your main chute when you cutted-away?

Do you pick it up or something?

[jeroenek]

when you cut away, you try to keep an eye on the main parachute and see where it drops.

I had no trouble finding it lateron :-)

Hi :>) I'm wondering what was the pull altitude?

[jeroenek]

I think it was around 700m

Hi,

Thanks again for comenting. I know you mean well :-)

Still think I made a good decision at that time though. I gues it's very difficult to measure ones decisions in this field. To many what ifs...

[angleseymassive]

@jeroenek if you walk away unharmed... its ALWAYS the right decision

[SamuelKroell11]

[XPLANEFSX]

no i w ziemniaki ;/

[titaniotti]

well, i learned that way. In case of doubt, cut away!

If you comes in ground nice, its the right decision, always!

@jumpjunkie2

he made the decision and did so using proper procedure in a safe manner. a reserve is meant to be used, not "saved for something worse"

good job buddy, you took quick action and fallowed through.

[MoPar7055]

can you clarify what the issue was with the main?

[neomuttley]

Hello,

Not_fur_nuttin, but it looks like you could've fixed that easily. If there were any tension knots. I couldn't see them on the vid. You didn't even try by releasing your brakes. From what I could see. One toggle released. If you showed this to whoever you use as a mentor. I'm sure you've heard this by now. Glad you're OK.

@jeroenek have you been afraid when it happened?

[cjfrayer]

@scurry57 there are no "line cutters" in a 3 ring system and nothing is actually cut when you "cut away". Do you Jump? If so I would go talk to your rigger and learn a little more about your gear.
