You are walking, you are talking, you did the right thing. Hindsight is 20/20 After You open Your parachute You need to evaluate it, look for shape and then make a controlability check. If the parachute appears to fly normal chances are that You will be able to land it. Certain partial malfunctions will pass a controlability check and still be hazardous to land, example broken lines, or tears. Every situation is different, try to evaluate what You have and determine whether cutting away will aggrevate the situation or make it better. Talk to experienced instructors. Play "what if" scenarios in Your head. Establish plans of action. Watch other people. Stay alive. Never give up. Mathias Ingen minns en fegis!

I beleive the airspace above that beach is class Bravo so you need to be in contact with SoCal approach or whop ever controlsit these days. As far as the land owners permission, I think if it is a public beach the county owns it. When we did jumps over Lake Tahoe the county did not allow us to land on the beach, we got around that requirement by talking to the US Coastguard who controls the lake and they let us land in the lake, i.e. swoop the lake stick a toe in the water and you are legal.

FAR 91.15 - Dropping objects. No pilot in command of a civil aircraft may allow any object to be dropped from that aircraft in flight that creates a hazard to persons or property. However, this section does not prohibit the dropping of any object if reasonable precautions are taken to avoid injury or damage to persons or property. This is the rule that the PILOT has too follow when it comes to dropping stuff. So it's the PILOTS fault if you hurt somebody or some thing with the ball. Please let the PILOT know if you intend to jump with a ball. Mathias Ingen minns en fegis!

Me: *stutter* moving airmass, no difference *cough* parachute doesn't know about wind *confused look* Hey I used to think that the moving airmass thing was correct until I talked about this HIGH WIND low TURN thing for landing with a hanggliding pilot. He pointed out two things to me that changes a lot when you get close to the ground. 1. Gradient - a 15kt wind on the surface will be significantly higher at 200 or 300 fet. ie there is a rather large change of wind as You perform your turn for landing. 2.Coriolis - the wind turns as you move away from the surface, because of the earths rotation. (And many other factors.) The biggest reason, in my opinion, that people (including me) turn lower on high wind days is the perception of speed, we usee the groundspeed to judge not the airspeed.

I don't see how wearing an AAD, helmet, audible (or two) can detract from a skydive so I wear them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- An AAD can fire prematurely and therefore cause a multitude of problems. A helmet can lead to injuries that wouldn't have happened without it. I jump both an AAD and a helmet. But I do know what the drawbacks are. Ingen minns en fegis!
