skydiverek 63 #1 October 29, 2007 I guess it can be classified as a cutaway, or a jump from an aircraft, so here it is!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV-Z1HbP4Ng How did he get separated??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #3 October 29, 2007 Whooops. That loop didn't seem to go too well!! The glider looked like it 'clapped hands' on exit - which cann't be a good thingHe did the right thing tho'. Not sure how he got away from the wing... I've only ever seen the pilots harness Binnered to the frame... and it would be hard to reach behind you to physically cut the webbing.... (.)Y(.)

From the video it looks like he has part of the frame still dangling from the harness. That's probably how he got separated from the glider. Definitely one lucky SOB Cheers, Vale Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
