Our boy Merrick assembled his new kill-line pilot chute incorrectly and had a bit of a pilot chute in tow. No prob: he pulled the bridle and got it out. No harm, no beer foul.

ROFL - Yeah, wasn't really sure if I wanted to tell that story or not, but I figure if someone else can learn from it.... why not let the whole world know I'm a dumb-ass. LOL Here's the link if you want read about it.... "FUBAR"

Yeah. I just hesitate to think what might have happened if we'd pulled at our normal altitudes, 3500-3000, with him having burned between 2000 and 2500 working the problem, even tho he did it quickly.
It sure was a bad feeling watching him keep falling. I thought he had a hellacious snivel or something..I could see the pilot chute and him moving about, but I kept telling myself that it just looks lower then it is (which it does to some extent).
Scary feeling for sure! Just like a man to not listen when I told him to just let the rigger put on the pilot chute since he was working on our rigs anyway! Dumbasses.

Holy sh$%, boy! Glad you're still with us. But lucky Pammi.... for all you put her through (bet she was more scared than you!) you'll be kissing her ass for quite some time. Glad you guys are enjoying the new place - now quit scaring people and be safe!

Yeah :) hehehe
I'm fixin' to make that 1st number of 'jumps' 3 instead of 2 :)
BTW...it's not so weird kissing your canopy right?? I got very odd looks from the rigger when I told Merrick that's why he had problems with his jump...he didn't treat her right and give her kisses ;)

I thought everybody did it... if I don't do that to my spectre it spanks me. "Life is full of danger, so why be afraid?"

HA! Ya know, after her low pull, the PC bridle wrapping her arm at pull time, and her many painful looking landings that I had the privilege of witnessing.... I say we're even!
