Hey, that's my DZ!
-
looked like the line over and twist cleared right as you cut away.. right choice nonetheless
-
NIce! I had to chop a lineover on a tandem this past safety day. Maybe we should rename it USPA's annual Lineover Day.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was taught in AFF that if you are not in control of your main parachute by your pre-determined decision altitude, get rid of it and deploy the reserve, and don't give it an inch longer. "Hoping" it would clear after that is too often a fatal mistake, a key fact that is clearly reiterated on every Safety Day I've ever been to. Awesome job!

"waiting to see if a lineover will clear" is a good way to get broke.

I see skydive Spaceland!! There's the dirty pond!

Errr why did u cut away?? I'm pretty sure if you waited a few seconds longer (since u had some altitude) you could have recovered. Ud be amazed if you get on ur back risers what you could do :)

bummer it cleared right before the cutaway, insult to avoid injury, thats a new one! LOL, funny i had never seen a lineover that pinched clear itself so easily... bum luck
-
it looked like if you would waited 3 more seconds your chute would of inflated 100%
?

He did the right thing coz he was able to post the video after it happened;)
we can all say that the parachute was ok 1 sec before he released and deployed the reserve one but up there with high speed, bad canopy and secs to react he did what thought to be right. judging from the result which is he is alive it was the right call. maybe a more experienced skydiver would have sticked a bit longer to the main but good you are alive mate.
