Seeking a video from skydivingmovies site: Static line "jumper in tow"

[grue 1]

This was discussed on an older Skydive Radio episode and I wanna see it. Can't find it on youtube, hoping someone has it archived since SDM is long gone

Apparently it was a Canadian DZ, and the hook knife was nowhere to be found, jumper deployed his reserve while still attached, or something along those lines?

cavete terrae.

That has to be one of, if not the most, rare malfunction you could have on a jump.

I only wish the person making the video could have cranked the music volume up more and done something to quiet down the dialogue.

Yeah I was a static line baby and I quickly understood it's one of those things that "just doesn't happen, but we train for it anyway", so when the video was mentioned on SDR I was like "no way, gotta see this"

I sometimes fly and/or do coach jumps for the small Cessna dropzone where I got my A. We use an old school direct bag static line setup. In eight years of flying and jumping I have caught two reserve pilot chutes but never seen a static line problem. There is a hook knife attached right by the pilots seat for this scenario, but if I hadn't seen this video I wouldn't have believed it.

discussion of that incident.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.
