@geektoro they make front reserves. When you are diving and plan on doing an "intentional" cutaway you must ride with two reserves. You may have seen bear grylls do his intentional cutaway - he had two reserves (or he was supposed to!)
-
@SamJendo1 it wouldnt have been fatal BUT with the twists you have no control and instead of landing at ten miles an hour (or in a slight wind nearly zero) you get to land at around 30 mph. Definitely NOT something you want to do with someone attached to you as it makes PLF kinda difficult.

if you cant untangle a line twist then you have no steering. Love the "we're gonna go for another ride" :p
-
Seriously the WORST time possible to hear any variety of 'oh shit' or 'we have a problem'. That said, handled like a pro. Well done.
-
If he didn't do a cutaway, and had left the main chute with the twist in it, would it have been ok anyway? It seemed like the main chute was completely open and deployed.

Loved the look of relief on the student's face after the reserve opened.

cool as shit instructor...

Amazing!

U gotta have your descision alt. If u can't get theine twist undone its time to cut. Way to keep Ur head cool :)
I suppose it is safer. The reserve system has some design differences and is packed more carefully. It is the last chance to get a good parachute.

Twice the ride for single the price!.
Nice video, how is the handy cam attached to your hand.? Isn't it hard to get the handles with a camera mounted on your hand?

We wear a special glove, it's a little awkward.
