Everything that protrudes has snagging potential. In this case, I believe it was a hook that was part of the door lock mechanism. Also, I have seen reserve risers on rigs being much "looser" than on others... (I think it has more to do with the packing of the reserve than the type of rig though, but I may be wrong). Also from an inexperienced person... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Especially since I was on another continent! You sneaky bastard, Cocheese, you had it all planned out. Waiting for me to leave the country... But one day, revenge will be mine...Bwahahahahahahahaha "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

2 point 8-way for C license?

With the advancement of freeflying, I wonder if the USPA will one day alter its license requirements to include freeflying docks, etc... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -
No. If you pull the reserve handle on a total mal at terminal, the skyhook will not deploy the reserve. The reserve handle will. The skyhook is an RSL that uses the cutaway canopy in the extraction process of the reserve canopy. It also, I believe, makes sure such extraction happens after both risers have properly separated from the rig. At least, that's what I understand it does. I may be wrong...

Other than developping visual altitude awareness, looking below you may also prevent you from free falling through an open canopy... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Should make a tasteful coaster by then. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I like you. Do you RSL by any chance? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I can relate to that! I'd rather have my freakin' eyeballs plucked out of the sockets than landing there one more time! I had the same problem in Perris. People knew damn well I was French, and still grunted to me. Fooled you, uh? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I was wondering what that smell was........ Stop smelling my letters. Pervert. Stalker. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Hmmmm... There is life outside of skydiving, you know? Sometimes, it's good to hear from someone who's passion has nothing to do with yours. IMHFO. (the "F" is for French). "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Cool!

Just another one of my multiple personalities... And thank god that Frenchy finally gave my soul back to me - I couldn't handle drinking that much Absinthe and entertaining Freaky Steve all the time. Keely, from now on, you will be known as................................................................. Michael Skaggs!

She had the audacity to go to South America without checking in! I shall forward, on your behalf, your outmost disdain for her. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Can we please return to French bashing? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I wonder if there was a way to get him back INSIDE the airplane. Probably not... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Based on the links Piisfish posted: The jumper was stuck on one of the hooks that secure the locking of the skyvan's door. He cut away, hoping that it was his main's riser that was stuck. It wasn't. When he finally broke free, he deployed his reserve (since he had cut away, his main was now useless) above 9,000ft. Everything went fine. Upon landing, he realized that the hook had cut through about half the width of his reserve riser... Scary!

Any word as to what kind of damage it did to his rig? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Promises, promises... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
