@tommymiller199 Sorry for the late reply! This was done at Skydance Skydiving in Davis, CA.

@sergeantdiessel The reserve may or may not deploy, depends on how bad the entanglement is. If it happened to me, I would do whatever I could to make sure the reserve gets fully deployed.

@brett500 so what happens when u get an entanglement with u and the main will the reserve still deploy?
-
@n8032 And not good for your health if you had to deploy your reserve at terminal ;-)

@LifeOfCarl Haha! No worries. I try to make it out to Davis every now and then. Maybe I will see you there.

Why did you guys land out in the fields? I have only been jumping in Davis for about a year, so things may have been different then. Just curious!

@LifeOfCarl ...because we were landing near the cutaway canopy.

@brett500 If you get entanglement and the main fails to deploy the reserve, can you give a sharp tug to the riser the skyhook is attached to, the same as pulling a reserve release cable?

@astrowanabe Honestly, I don't know the Skyhook system that well. So, I would ask a rigger. Bottom line is you shouldn't be relying on an RSL, Skyhook, or any other backup device in getting your reserve out.
