who's the "half blood prince"? PMS #165 Swooo #613 CSA #687

the last time I packed (this past sunday) i noticed something as i was stowing my risers. my left brake toggle had come unstowed. i proceeded to stow it and then tuck the riser under the riser flap. Next i put the bag in the tray but realized that the left brake line was now MUCH shorter than the rest of the lines. I deduce that the brake/toggle came unstowed at some time after getting the canopy in the bag but before i starting rubber-banding the lines. i will probably re-pack before i jump, but just wondering what would be the most likely effect upon deployment? i know that there will be more tension on that one line until the canopy comes out of the bag. but would that line snap? will it put me in a spin? i haven't had a malfunction yet (other than line twists that i kicked out of). so i'm a little nervous about having my first cutaway. i'm tempted to just jump it and see what happens, but i also want to be safe and know the results to expect / to prevent.

yeah, done that. only cause the person who was calling new that all me and this other person ever did was have sex. so it was no big deal for it to be taking place while he called. he may have even be calling to tell us to stop having sex. unique situation i think. PMS #165 Swooo #613 CSA #687

I'll never forget the time I was in California on business and took a drive out to Perris to check things out. It was the first time i had been to a DZ other than X Keys. I was so nervous having only just gotten my A license and not knowing anyone. Then I saw Sara and Yonatan. I was so surprised and so happy to see familiar faces. Sara and I spent the day together and made a couple jumps together at Elsinore (where it was a little less windy). That was the first of many great memories I have of Sara. She was an amazing person, had such a wonderful energy. She will be remembered and loved forever. We'll miss you Sara! xoxo PMS #165 Swooo #613 CSA #687
