082408 1 of 2. I was taking pictures at the “New England Boogie” in Pepperell, MA on August 24, 2008. At 4:36PM Ron Peterson cut his main parachute away when it malfunctioned. He returned safely with his reserve parachute. The first picture I took of this is in the November 2008 issue of Skydiving Magazine. The lesson is pack carefully and wear a reserve. Cutaway.
