Description
On his 5th jump of the year the jumper was doing a 3500' jump, when he went to pull his main pilot chute he was unable to. His rig was equiped with an Rear of Leg pilot chute pouch and had twisted the bridle around the leg strap making it impossible to lift the main when pulled. He failed to pull his reserve before he hit the ground.
