"The second, as it was a judgement call, was not so bad but more of a pisser because I was about a week past the last repack." Hehe...my cutaway was the day after my repack. Now that really sucks. :-)

I had a cutaway on my 28th (I have about 60 now). Its a long story but to sum up my main got hooked up backwards. I'm glad that I got a cutaway out of the way early, however, in a situation that was not a high speed mal. The canopy was functioning...just backwards. I wasn't about to try and land it though. Now I've had actual practice at it and feel confident that I can handle a high speed malfunction. And as others have stated, I too always throw out prepared to handle a mal...not expecting it to open every time.

I know somebody that this happened to at Mike Mullin's Halloween Boogie last Fall. She dislocated her right shoulder while tracking away to pull. So she immediately popped the reserve, removed both toggles with her left hand, and landed it one-handed. From what I hear, she almost stood it up to!
