handles from heaven

[FliegendeWolf 0]

Out of curiosity, have there ever been any incidents of injury, death, or property damage resulting from dropped handles after cutaway?

A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Just injury to my pocket...

Handels... not that I'm aware of. Skyballs, tubes, shoes, other things... yes. More then one property claim has been filed on damages due to these items.

I haven't heard of any, but my second cutaway was a bag lock (I'm guessing the PC wasn't cocked, it didn't have a window to check, not packed by me

Which landed 5' from the packing tent. I think that would have sucked.

Did Alex and Lisa see it land? What did they say. I bet they were pretty freaked about that one.

My brother rigged a pilot chute to his freefly board in case he had to chop the board for any reason. Still doesn't keep it from landing on a freeway and smacking a car and causing an auto accident.

Also whenever he had a mal of any kind when he was jumping the board he would land off the DZ to avoid dropping the board for that very reason.

They were shocked by it.. I was freaked out when I started thinking about if it had hit one of the kiddies...
