  1. In the video, you have a survivable canopy unless your reserve is so highly loaded that you can't survive a landing without a flare; that's a good thing. The line twists aren't ideal.
    I have a couple of cutaways on spinning line twists (Diablo at 1.4), with no line twists on my reserve in either case. I'm quite happy with the RSL's performance. I have about 14 reserve rides (I used to experiment with my gear in the 1970's); maybe 10 of them cutaways, only two with an RSL.
    Your video shows that nothing is perfect. But I'd rather have a line-twisted reserve when I land than a malfunctioned main, or a partially-opened reserve. Not ideal, but a malfunction never is.
