shibu 1 #1 June 25, 2011 In Chp2 of Brian Germain's "The Parachute & it's Pilot" book, he writes about an experience in 1987 when he hooked his knees over his slider & spiraled radically while hanging upside down. Does anyone have any links to video of anyone doing anything like this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well not exactly like that. lol. Thanks for the video. Not exactly what I was looking for but I enjoyed it anyway. Who would think that could happen from flipping through your risers? Glad I never had the urge. I don't think he meant it was a good idea. He just wrote that he did it during his first boogie. In fact he did say he nearly collided into another canopy.

jjudd 0 #7 June 28, 2011 The guy did exactly as u described but he flips through all the way when he looses control and now a wicked malfunction probably as a result or loading the harness one way or the other or maybe toggles in hands who knows and spiral here we come...
