Kimblair13 0 #1 July 2, 2004 So yeah...I guess I just thought I'd write about my first cutaway today. It was my second jump of the day, jump number 292. I fly a Impulse 120 and have a Stellar 120 reserve. Jumped at 4K. Tossed at 3K, came out as normal, grabbed risers then looked up and right then my canopy spun up. Tried kicking and would dive to right. Stopped kicking and canopy would spin up more, tried twisting out again and dive again, fuck it, cutaway around 2, was thrown onto back spinning, god dammit i threw my handle, went to belly and for some retarded reason threw reserve handle as well. stellar came out quick but was nice. couldn't see my main but saw freebag and pilot chute. did some practice flares. stand up landing. a friend found my main and my rigger found my pilot chute and freebag. lost both handles. :(. now i have bruise on right cheek. not sure what from but i felt something hit it when i went to belly and pulled my reserve. i think i'm more pissed off that i threw the handles. well that's my story. thanks to Strong for reserve working.
