Hey brettski74, You pretty much sum up this thread with your last post. Things aren't so black and white. I still believe the 2 handed method is the way to go. But each jumper should know what they are going to do and practice that method properly and know the pros and cons as you say. And that chick with the BIG RACK, tell her to get an RSL. Thanks for the post. Kamuran "Sonic" Bayrasli The Ranch PROshop Buy Baby Buy!

OK Timmy, First of all your lucky to still be alive. Why, you ask. Well, you stated that you started on a S.O.S. system which I think is DEATH. Any DZ with those systems should be shut down. With and S.O.S. system when the shit hits the fan, all you got to do is pull the handle on your left side. Then when people get their own rigs, they have to re-learn their EP's. That is the stupidest thing ever. In high stress situations, people might go to what they originally learned and pull their reserve before cutting away. It's happened. Now let me rephrase what I said, so you can't twist it around. It is IMPOSSIBLE to have an out of sequence procedure with the two handed method. It is POSSIBLE to have an out of sequence procedure with the one handed method. "Get over myself" really? Go PA removed by slotperfect! (OK here we go with the name calling) As far as everyone else, the only thing bad to say about the two handed method is finding the reserve handle after cutting away. After you have your hands on the cutaway handle, YOU LOOK AND LOCATE THE RESERVE HANDLE. As far as the harness shifting, after you cut away the harness with go back to where it was prior to deploying your reserve. So as far as not finding it, maybe you should think about bowling instead of skydiving. Also the other people that are talking about the one handed method is more 'natural' than the two handed method. I ask what is natural in skydiving? Nothing. And as far as the two handed method being too long of a sequence to learn and makes it harder to peel the velcro, WOW your really PA removed by slotperfect. You should be bowling too. So now that I started calling people names and telling you how your all wrong, please start the bashing. Thank you. By the way, no one has given any real reason why the two handed method isn't the best way to go. Kamuran "Sonic" Bayrasli The Ranch PROshop Buy Baby Buy!

Fiesta Boy, Well, it's a simple fact that if you use the one handed method it is possible to have an out of sequence procedure, FACT! Non debatable. I have seen so many rookies pull their handles in the shop when getting a repack, who have never had a cutaway, forget to peel their reserve and jam out there easy to pull "D" handle, OUT OF SEQUENCE. TOO many times. Simple FACT, you can't do that with the two handed method, FACT!!! Bro, just because you have been teaching it that long at different DZ's doesn't make it right. Do your students a favor and start teaching them the SAFER method. By the way I'm Turkish, you bone licka. P.S. Dom, I love you too man. Kamuran "Sonic" Bayrasli The Ranch PROshop Buy Baby Buy!

As far as my personal experience; 10+ years ago in Eloy I was jumping my Velo 103 (2.5ish WL) in a Javelin. Back then the Javelin handles were very flat. Anyway, had a spinner and using the one hand per handle method, peeled my cutaway and started to pull, as I had also started to peel my reserve, WHEN I could barely pull the handle due to the hard spin. I then had to get both hands on my cutaway to finish pulling it all the way and clearing my cables. When I went back to the reserve handle that was already peeled, it was a little harder to find. I swore right then and there that I was going back to the method I was taught. Two hands on each handle. As far as things I've seen; As the owner of the PROshop and loft at The Ranch, when people come in to have a repack I usually let them pull their handles. Before they actually 'pull' their handles I have them 'motion' through their emergency procedures. I can't even tell you how many do it wrong or don't pull their cutaway handle all the way before they pull their reserve. TOO many. Kamuran "Sonic" Bayrasli The Ranch PROshop Buy Baby Buy!

You're right that are only a few absolutes in this sport and I you're also right that I am arrogant. I can only let my years of experience speak for myself. "What about the person who jumps without an RSL and who cuts away with the "two-hand method" only to find that they cannot find the reserve handle due to the release of the main?" Hence, "Both hands on cutaway. Look locate reserve. Pull cutaway. Then both hands on reserve, pull reserve." And if they can't find their reserve before they hit the ground, then I call that "Natural Selection". And if you want to crucify me for that statement, start another thread. But, my statement to most people is "I bet your life, that you'll find and pull that handle before you hit the ground" And they usually agree.

I'm curious how many instructors are teaching the inferior method. I want to write an article for Parachutist about this, and wanted to hear some opinions and see some numbers. Maybe eventually purpose to USPA, to set a proper standard. Saving lives one at a time. Kamuran "Sonic" Bayrasli The Ranch PROshop Buy Baby Buy!

As and instructor, rigger and S&TA, I have seen and experienced problems with the first method and have gone to the second method (The way I was originally taught, here at The Ranch, NY) The first method simply opens yourself up to the possibilities of deploying your reserve before cutting away. For those of you about to say, "You got to be an idiot to do that" My response is there are a lot of "Idiots" out there, trust me. I spoke to Jim Crouch at USPA and asked him their view on this and he said it is up to the DZ and instructors how to teach emergency procedures. So, that conversation prompted this post. What it comes down to, is that I believe the "Two hands on each handle" method is the way it should be taught for the safety factor. If there is anyone out there that thinks the "One hand per handle" method is better, your WRONG. There is nothing that you could say that would change the fact that, that method is better. Anyway I hope this saves lives, cause ultimately that's why I'm posting this. BSBD! Kamuran "Sonic" Bayrasli The Ranch PROshop Buy Baby Buy!
