crap shoot is right. I had a similar situation, my PC on static line stayed inside the container it wasn't in tow at all. but I had a main reserve entanglement. my worry is that if I was to cut away then pull the reserve. when the reserve deployed and it dislodged my main would it shoot up in the DBag still and my reserve catch it and deflate? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4488783;page=unread#unread Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

Just wondering from people out there how long they took after having a very serious accident? might be different for someone who has hundreds or thousands of jumps as they really have that passion for the sport. what about newbies that have under 100 jumps. have any of you had something bad happen, and if so how long did it take you to get to the sky again.

the main was wrapped around the reserve risers so i was affraid that if i cut away that it could possibly just pull on one side of my reserve making me have nothing but a colapsed canopies over my head Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

i never cut away cause there was nothing above me at all when i looked back. so the RSL didnt do anything in this case as i went right for reserve handle. Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

almost got a trip to the ER or worse for sure. The static line system they use is Velcro and attaches to the pilot chute that gets packed ontop of the dbag. The static line has a cable that closes the container. Wellllll the static line pulled and from what we seen on the video the bag stayed closed somewhat, as you could see the netting from the PC still sitting on top of the container. Emerg procedures are when nothing's there you pull reserve right away. Well when I pulled my reserve it dislodged my main and they opened at same time. i am assuming casuse the pilot shute is on the top of the dbag for the main on this configuration, it inflated and from what i guess it went up through the front left riser of my reserve. cause it was wraped around the riser. If anyone youtubes that malfunction it is never good ending and that's what I was thinkin about as I had two parachutes tangled through each other and creating an "x" one chute was facing left. One right and not side by side but tangled and ontop of one another. No steering and coming in like a meteor. Thank god I'm a good plf-er cause I came in, cross wind no steering and rolled like a champ. what my question to you more experienced jumpers out there is "what would you do?" i have replayed this over and over in my head. My instructor said i did everything properly and remained calm. i know this is more than just rare for this to happen especially on static line.. but any input is good input thanks Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

Any military guys out ere know if the Military rigs still use the AR2? Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

thanks for the info guys, ill make sure to look for areas you described as well.. was there anything else that comes to my mind that they were turned around for quality control? Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

anyone out there know if guardian had an offical contract with the US govt? i have an MC4 by paraflite myself, and i just got a new container and it was made by guardian. just curious if they filled some of the supply for the forces? Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

thats awesome.. dont let anything stop you from doing something that you love.. something for you to look into but im sure you can figure a way to make it work.. the military has extension straps on handles so you can fly with your feet. for flaring you would always release them and grab the handles.. but im sure there is some way that a master rigger or someone could add a break line to a canopy that only required you one hand to pull down on to flare the chute.. just my idea. :) fair winds and blue skies AIRBORNE Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum
