| Description |
Student was AFF level 10 (solo). He exited unstable from 5000ft. The instructor (in the aircraft) observed the student deploy his main parachute after falling for 5 seconds and immediately cutaway. No reserve was observed to open.
At the site of impact the reserve free bag was still attached to the reseve and appeared to have choked the opening of the reserve. The Bridle seems to have prevented the reserve from opening due to some sort of entanglement. |
