skydivehigh 0 #5 June 19, 2002 Is there such a thing as a "Nice Mal"????Are they all not nasty ???Glad you were able to get away from it, land safely, and recover your main....I hope you eye recovers well.Do you think is was the pack job or the deployment ??Blue skiesB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #6 June 19, 2002 QuoteDo you think it was the pack job or the deployment ??In my humble little 219 jumps worth of experience I have found that 99.9999% of all malfunctions are caused by poor packing or mistakes by the pilot. I.E. Bad body position, too much speed, unstable deployment, etc. Than there is the .00001% of just bad luck..... I wasn't flyin it nor did I pack it so I won't speculate.

Hooknswoop 19 #7 June 19, 2002 "Do you think is was the pack job or the deployment ??"If you look at the links, in one of the pics, you can see they aren't even = spinning line twists. Body position or uneven leg straps.Hook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 #8 June 19, 2002 Looks like the right toggle might be unstowed and the canopy is spinning in the that direction as well. It is hard to tell but I don't see any excess brake line either on that side so??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
