rhopstr 0 #3 November 28, 2012 What is the SOP with regards to a flip through the risers as shown in that video? Haven't thought about this 'malfunction' yet. If that would have happend to me I think I'd haved checked a.s.a.p. if the canopy would turn and flare like it should and would then have kept it if I were above my hard ceiling (2000 ft). Would have chopped though if I couldn't perform said checks if I were between 2000ft and 1000ft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A flip through is generally not cause for a cutaway, it's just a screaming clear sign that you, or your packer, don't do a line check and you're asking for a more serious problem in the near future. But yeah, just do a control check, and then take it easy for the rest of the canopy ride. Be sure that your control check includes a full, deep, sustained flare, the same way you would do it for your actual landing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
