TomAiello 26 #4 October 27, 2003 That's me. There is a full video on the skydivingmovies.com server, if you want to see the whole process. In short, I did this: 1) Released toggles. 2) Straightened canopy flight, and aimed away from cliff. 3) Pumped toggles (twice) to try to clear line over. 4) Used hook knife to cut toggle off, which cleared the malfunction. 5) Steered in to (wrong) landing area using one toggle. 6) Landed on both rear risers, with the good toggle in my hand. edit to add: I was, of course, hoping and praying throughout.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

motherhucker 0 #8 October 27, 2003 Tom; was it difficult to find your hook knife in your handbag? I prefer to keep them more accessible, but, as you've pointed out in the past, they do not accessorise well. At least you landed OK. Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #9 October 27, 2003 Quote...hook knife...do not accessorise well. Clearly, you aren't keeping up on the latest fashion trends. Hook knives are now available in a wide range of fashion colors, for proper accesorizing.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motherhucker 0 #10 October 27, 2003 ...followed the link, but failed to find a pink hook knife: are you delving into other colors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
