cpoxon 0 #1 August 27, 2002 Had the pleasure of jumping with a first time jumper this weekend. His deployment was somewhat interesting thanks to a dipped shoulder, a lazy pull and failing to properly collapse his wings again after throwing out. Despite a larger pilot chute and longer bridle, the PC got stuck on his back in the burble for approximately 1 second. As it released from the burble, the bridle snaked around the jumper's foot and took just under a second to release until the bag started to come cleanly out of the container. Attached are some captures from the video which demonstrate the importance of good drills! Apologies for the quality of the images but I wasn't as close as I could have been and I've used the PlayBack zoom feature of the PC-110 to magnify the images.
