Toggle Turn Induced LIne Twist, Skyhook Cutaway

For Educational Purposes only
I did not have my hands in the toggles because this is 45 seconds into the video. This video begins 45 seconds after i deployed. I pulled at 3500 Ft, Fully Inflated canopy at 3000 exactly, and the line twists started at 1550. I had taken my hands out of the toggles at 1700 because my goggles were very fogged up and had water in them from my eyes tearing so i had to open them up to get some air in there!

The line twists came from a very severe left hand turn...i did not move the right toggle at any time before during or after the left hand turn....the brake lines were also shortened which i think contributed to the situation.

I was jumping a Sabre 2 150 with shortened brake lines. I found out about the brake lines after the chop, M wingloading was about 1.4
