Fuck everybody!!!!! There not the one under that canopy. You did what you thought was right. To cut away at 1000 thats some guts, praise to you. I had a problem with landings too, but I've worked on it and things are better. I was a paratrooper and jumped rounds, I didn't know you could land standing up. Give it some time I know another in your shoes, its your life do what you feel is right and not what others think you should do. I hope you kicked the shit out of the person who packed your chute and got your money back for the pack job. May it be your only cutaway. Blue Skys Scott "AIRBORNE"
