Well I TRIED to get a reserve ride yesterday on jump number nine but main canopy was so twisted it would cutaway. See "first really bad experience" thread lol... I think I must have the record for "attempted cutaway in fewest jumps".

Does massive line twists count as a mal?

As soon as I made my 500th jump I wanted my tandem rating. I had never had a cutaway so I rented the rig and did and intentional breakaway on the proper 3 canopy system like you were supposed to do. (about 4 years in the sport) About 50 jumps later I had a real malfunction, a line over. Probably 200 jumps later I had a bag lock. Last fall I had my first tandem cut away, a tension knot with the slider up.


How do ya like it Johnny?
