May 19 - Skykef, Israel - Failed cutaway/2 Canopy Malfunction

Recommended Posts

Yesterday, on the first load of the Israel boogie at Skykef, a jumper had a spinning malfunction, cutaway and deployed his reserve, and found 2 canopies above his head.

What happened was the jumper did not fully pull the cutaway pillow, causing the risers to stay attached.

After reserve deployment, the jumper realized that his cutaway was unsuccessful. He went to complete the cutaway and safely landed his reserve.

The rest of the day continued incident free, and I'm now heading out to the second day of the boogie! Tomorrow and Saturday is the Israeli Open Freefly Competition. Competitors include the "Skywalkers" from Norway and the "Brainpop Freefly" team from Israel.

What a great weekend!!
Stay Safe.
