| Description |
Jumper exited at 12000 and had an uneventful freefall. At main deployment (approx 2000 feet) the Jumper pulled his main which opened with a lineover. The jumper rode this spinning Malfunction to approx 400-500 feet before cutting away. He flipped to his belly and pulled his reserve at approx 200-300 feet or less. The reserve canopy and lines were able to come out of the container, but did not open enough to slow the jumper down before impact.
The jumper lost a main in the ocean last summer at this same dropzone from a cutaway. He also had just removed his RSL with in the last 2 weeks. |
