DexterBase 1 #1 May 17, 2003 Last night I had probably the most disturbing dream of my life. We launched a 4-way and turned some points. The first part of the jump went really well. We got to breakoff altitude and I turned and tracked away from the formation. At pull altitude, I tossed my PC and somehow got feet low. The bridle seemed to snag one of my reserve flaps and towed behind me. I was burning altitude and decided to chop and go to my reserve. I chopped and nothing happened (obviously) then pulled my reserve ripcord. I saw the reserve PC deploy out of my peripheral vision and to my horror it floated away without the freebag or canopy. Still getting lower and fast. At this point, I panicked and pretty much lost all stability. I reached back and tried to open my reserve flaps. I was still trying when I impacted the ground. I lay in the grass and saw several pieces of my rig sitting in the grass. One was my reserve PC with it's velcro attachments (how's that for a bad rigging idea!) It seems this particular bridle was attached to the freebag by two velcro strips... anyway... I got up and was in a lot of pain but seemed to be okay. I remember thinking that I needed to get to an ER quick because I probably had a lot of internal bleeding. I also remember thinking that I needed to find my main (but I never lost it in the first place???) That's about all I can remember. The scary part is how realistic this dream was. I woke up shaking and it really scared the hell out of me. Wow... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
