Slow Motion of My skydive Parachute Malfunction

This is my malfuction (Twists) (You try to kick them out! :) )

Notice the horizon when I did. That was why I cut away when I did. No time to lose, :-)

this is not unusual to the Stiletto, next time push the risers apart as you kick out the twists... works (mostly) for me, I have also got into the habit of hands on the risers and follow the canopy during opening sequence... can prevent the line twist turning into a spin... what is your canopy size/ wing loading

@cdhezel

The canopy is a 107 and I am 170 lb.

I did attempt to pull them apart but that's when it started to turn.

The canopy is a 107 and I was about 170 lb.

that didnt look that bad. all you did was try kicking? i couldnt tell if you tried to reach up and pull them apart. always works for me when i get a line twist.

[siwilk0]

Has anyone noticed where the horzon was?

[Gemalyse]

i had line twists on my AFF stage one. just put my hands through the risers, spread and scissor kicked. i had full controll within seconds :)

My parachute in 106 sq feet what was yours? ;-) heh heh

I like the clap at the end.

@Gemalyse you were also flying a bus compared to his sports car canopy

[benc1978]

push them together and the twist will move down the risers and make it easier to unwind. I was always told to pull them apart too but have found pushing togther works much better.

I had once a twisted liner, but after a quick glance at it, i decided it could be untwisted . and it did. but what a spinning action it was... ouf!!
