How many saves in 2010?

Recommended Posts

Just one in 2010. A friend of mine lent his rig without briefing the borrower, a beginner, about the brake release. The result was a one side lock of the extra length of steering line with a knot around the upper keeper channel when the guy released the brakes. He did a cut away followed by a nice reserve ride. The rig was a Mirage.
Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.

four- one tandem- tension knots, a rental rig with a 60 jump wonder- this one was a wicked spinner, as he pulled in a spin, an experienced fun jumper couldn`t find the pc handle on a wingsuit jump, and a 1st jump student probably cutting away line twists..

I had 4.

One of them was myself.

Another was a radical spinning malfunction and cuttaway resulting in a very low Cypres fire while the jumper was still spinning on his back. To this day I am amazed the canopy opened straight.

You must have packed it with an opposite spin :P
