jumperconway 0 #1 January 12, 2004 Jump #1668, sunset load 4 way brake off 3500' deployed about 2000' and I had a rope overhead but it was sniveling level then inflated fully and put me on my back and started twisting up more. I new I wasn't going to have time to deal with this getting worse so I chopped it at 1250' per my pro track and saddled under my PD113 at 985'. I deployed the reserve on my back because there was another canopy below that I saw over my shoulder and it openned beautifully. Everthing landed pretty close to the hangar except my cutaway pillow that I dropped during the 2 handed reserve deployment. Oh well, just another Chris Miller save (my second from him)! Sweet tip toe landing on the PD, they rock! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gemini 0 #2 January 12, 2004 I don't think I will ever get used to seeing a jumper cut away and go back into freefall below my altitude. It was an exciting cutaway to watch from up close. Sure glad it turned out ok. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolla 0 #3 January 12, 2004 Right on CP! You didn't happen to get any pictures of you under your reserve? I love to see the PD stuff in action - so if you have any good shots e-mail them to me! Tell Chris and the Anomaly boys hi for me - I'll come see you guys again this summer hopefully! Blooos! KollaBlue Skies Magazine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumperconway 0 #4 January 12, 2004 Sorry Kolla, No video on this one.To bad Jim didn't have a camera because he watched the whole thing from the air with me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #5 January 12, 2004 Kolla, About half way down this page there's some pics of Henny Wiggers landing a PD113 after a cutaway during our swoop nationals last year. A bit farther down it shows the rigger repacking it, also there are 2 pics of the guy who caught the freebag before it hit the ground The weather was kinda bad (hence all the pics labeled 'slecht weer' = bad weather) so most pics are kinda dark ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you clarify this for me? You were on your back, but saw another canopy below you? I am not sure I understand. Right on, glad you're ok! Angela.

jumperconway 0 #12 January 13, 2004 Being on my back after this the major line twist, I deployed my reserve while in a back to earth situation. I looked over my shoulder and saw another canopy below me and decided to deply unstable so as not to take a chance on going through someone elses canopy! I was feet first after the cutaway from the G force! The reserve opened up fine! Deploy safely, not stable! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am surprised deployed at 2k and yet, people were actually below you after you cutaway. Glad your ok. And definitely... safety above stability. :) Angela.
