1 in 450ish jumps. Had an FXC fire on me at 2000ft just as I unstowed the breaks on my main. Created a downplane and chopped it. That will teach me not to take student gear low.

Edit: had to translate to english.

Two.. 265 jumps total

First reserve was was third jump, second reserve-ride at jump 25.


On a brighter side: no reserve-rides on my own gear.

One, pliot chute in tow.

One ... on jump #20.

PC in tow burnt my 'extra' alti up, then the slider hung. 24 ' LoPo to the rescue from damn near terminal (yikes!!)

Now jumping #139 and I've only come close once since ... last weekend with a horseshoe on a hop n pop (double yikes)

Eight, suprizingly none on tandems yet. Narrowly escaped 2 reserve rides on tandems (ie that i had the rig in my hands and normal dz events caused me to jump something else and i watched those other tandem masters pull de ol handles in utter jealously)

Two reserve rides in 311 jumps,
Reserve ride #1: Horseshoe malfunction due to premature container opening (cause not ascertained).
Reserve ride #2: Spinning main on opening malfunction (poor body position and perhaps sloppy packjob).

None, in almost 500 jumps. *knocks on wood*

Although twice I should have chopped it and didn't (stupid, but very very lucky).

18 reserve rides out of 4,000 total jumps.

First three and last one were on solo gear, the rest were on first generation tandems. I also landed a few damaged canopies that I wish I hadn't.

My last cutaway from a Diablo 135 that spun up on opening. I still jump the Diablo, but now remember to keep my shoulders level at opening time.

[base698 1]

3 in 100 jumps and I didn't pack any of those.

1: Horseshoe real nasty (the bag baglocked and hit a car on the highway causing 1600 in damage to the car)
2: Stuck steering line
3: Total

No cutaways in 800 jumps after that :)

I have 1 reserve ride in 224 jumps. I had a baglock.

2 in 226 Jumps. If you pull low, your AAD will cause a two-out. If you don't cock your pilot chute, you have a 1 in 3 chance of your main failing.

4 reserve rides in 2,706 jumps..
All 4 were on the same 26 foot LoPo reserve,, all standups..... Last one in 1980........ I have had a variety of reasons to go to the reserve...and each situation was a little different than the others...
.. My # 1 mal was on a Round main, ( French papillon) with crisscrossed lines,,,, ( I had tansferred a "bagged" canopy onto my Mini System Container,, and when hooking it up to the risers,, allowed some lines to cross) Cut it away.. with Shot and a Half Capewells and then did my "first sit fly skydive" ( it was in 1976 ) as I fell away, ass to earth and deployed my center pull chest mount.......
# 2 was a total,, on my first ever jump with a hand deployed P C. I got out at 3, 500 feet
the rig was loose on me,, the pilot chute pouch
( belly band) was movin' around on me, and I simply couldn't find the handle... so as I started hearing the wind whistling,,,,,,, I pulled my blast handle.....
A few years later,,, same rig,, I twisted the belly band, and deployed into a horseshoe..!!..... The apex lines from My papillon pulled up through the twist, the pin pulled, the bag got out, and the suspension lines started working free...... I was head down, (another first ) AND feet down at the same time and I was spinning..... I took a look down and noticed that the size of the pea gravel was
very Big !!!!.... and rather than just pour out my reserve,,, I arched hard, got square in the air, FELT my bagged main fall onto the backs of my legs,,,, and thought,,,," I'm clear right above my shoulders, fire it now!!!!!!. As I pulled the reserve blast handle I was thinking,,, " Now if THIS doesn't Take....... we're gonna have a SERIOUS situation here...... and Bang.....Reserve opened...!!!hahaha What a Sport!!!!
The main never got out of the bag,,, about 3 lines stows were left.... I tugged on the suspension lines, and got the bag up to my hands, and stowed it between my knees.... Dropped it just before landing, and stood it up just outside of the gravel.... I did not release the main risers.....The last one was on a strato cloud, which opened during a hop and pop,,,, with a good knot tying up the right rear steering lines,,,, had to offset it with over 3/4 brakes from the left,,, so I grinned and hit my 3 rings,,,,,, then silver.....
that was many years ago,, and careful packing, and attention to deployment body position has been good to me since..... haven't had to use a square reserve yet,,,,,,,, I hope to keep this streak going.....
Oh I did have an old R-2 riser connection come loose on me at landing Once.... The main was a round, I landed with a little 'chin-up " action on my risers, and the one came right off in my hand....hahahahaha.... my buddies got a real kick out of that..!.....I decided then,,, it was time to order a rig with "3 rings"..........

37...jumps and no reserve rides yet. I have found my hand on silver a time or two though. Once around jump 12-15 or so, I didn't stow the toggles properly and they came loose upon opening and wrapped themselves around my right wrist and tied my wrist to the riser! I went into a hard right turn with linetwists. I almost pulled silver then I realised that I had a main canopy tied to my hand...not a good idea. So I pulled down on the left steering line, held it with my tied-up right hand, kicked out of the linetwists and planed out the canopy and spent about 40 seconds freeing myself from my steering lines I am MUCH more aware of toggle stowing now...yikes

This was on a Skymaster 290 too. I hate to think what would have happened on something smaller

0 in 130 jumps.

Only came close twice....snapped brake line and A line on opening, but flew and flared with rear risers both times.
