autoset 0 #1 February 3, 2007 Can someone please explain exactly what are tension knots? what lines do they appear in more commonly? why do they occur? From an student perspective it seems pretty difficult for a carefully packed parachute to develop knots out of nowhere in its lines on deployment. Sorry for the noob question but I'm studying all kind of malfuctions that can occur and am having a difficult time finding info on tension knots specifically. Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyChimp 0 #3 February 3, 2007 What you are doing is the best thing for yourself. I am still new to the sport in my opinion and did the same research on every possible malfunction before I suited up for AFF level 1. Safety is paramount and I hope you always feel comfortable to ask anyone safety questions. Bravo Zulu to you!!!! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
