| Description |
| A tandem experienced a malfunction on their main. When they cutaway they experienced line twists on the reserve also due to a possible horseshoe. The 14 line twists were severe enough that the slider remained trapped most the way up the lines and this prevented the reserve from inflating. Both the student and instructor were killed when the pair impacted in this high speed configuration. |
