arni999 0 #51 November 18, 2006 On my 4th AFF jump my PC ended up on top of my canopy enducing a right turn. Only to stop the turn was pull done hard on my left toggle. I didn't pull the reseerve cos i thought i had it under control. Never thought about the landing though... Luckily, although it was quite hard i managed to not break anything Got a very big telling off from my instructor for not chopping. Learnt my lesson that day!! hehe Mikey ------------------------------------------ Fear Is Weakness Leaving Your Body Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
980 0 #52 November 18, 2006 dude... I see your profile says Nitron150 @1.6 and that seems to be what you are flying in the photo, which looks like maybe tension knots on one or both sides keeping the slider stuck up there. What canopies were your spinners on and what was your canopy experience at that point? I have a few hundred jumps (almost always in a Birdman S3) on a Nitro 120 @ 1.6 and that thing resisted spinning up in twists like nobody's business. I did chop a Nitro 135 though when I just downsized and went elliptical at 450 jumps and I was flying my wingsuit at the Holiday Boogie in elopy with a MAX pull height of 2500ft. Spinning on my back below 2000ft in a wingsuit freaked me right the hell out the first time. Since then I have learned to deal with deployments better and given that same situation now I am confident I could have fixed it before hitting my hard deck. Just wondering if your spinners are the same kind of deal. cya sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d20111 0 #57 November 20, 2006 1 - A spinner on a Diablo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fueler 0 #58 November 21, 2006 Yo! the first spinner i had was on an older Nitron150. i had just down sized and switched from a sabre2 190. i know that is generally not a recommended progression, but hey, its what i did. i had somewhere around 530 jumps when i bought the first Nitron150. that first spinner was a super rushed, low deployment after a leader of a flocking dive corked and sent people every which way. it was a big mess. i tracked for longer than i normally would because i wasnt sure where the hell all the other bodies went. i was low...didnt waste too much time fighting it. second spinner had me on my back and did spook me a little bit. wasnt making any progress as i got real close to my 1800' hard deck so i choose to chop it. these two chops were no more than 2 weeks apart Alex edit>> as you mentioned, the jump i made in my canopy choices and size didnt seem like a big deal until i found myself under line twists. things happen fast at a moderate wing loading. i have had line twists since then and it really isnt as spooky once you've been there a couple times. **************************************** what!?

kris2extreme 0 #60 November 21, 2006 no RR's yet... *knock on wood* I've had line twists several times... but on one of my hop&pops this past weekend I had a baglock. Interestingly enough, since I hopped out and pulled at 7k, it stood me up and when I looked up and saw the bag floating around above me I knew i had a little bit of time to mess with it before chopping. I reached up and grabbed the risers and gave a sharp yank down on them which ended up busting the bottom 2 rubber bands on one side and let the deployment continue on as scheduled. Ended up only having a couple of line twists and was in the saddle by 6k with plenty of time to still play with my canopy *whew* I packed a little bit more carefully the next time.
