    Thats a hesitation.  A total is when nothing launches.

    Can't tell much since the video is from the front. From the side would be way more useful.

    A hesitation on the bench does not mean it will hesitate in freefall.  Freefall is not static like laying on a bench is.  If the jumper were to drop a shoulder should it happen in freefall (standard student training, yes?)  the shifting of the container and additional airflow over the back will likely clear any hesitation. 

    Just too many variables involved to be blaming the container without specifying exactly what caused the hesitation.   Besides the fact that bench hesitations are not unusual on any container (per my master rigger husband with 6k repacks...). 

    Is the closing loop the correct length?  One that is too long could cause a hesitation.   

    Are the canopies correctly sized for the container?  Over or understuffing can create these sort of issues.

    More details and  a video that actually shows something useful are needed if you are going to attempt to damn the container manufacturer for something that may not be a container issue.  Especially on the internet... using a click bait title... in a forum frequented by noobs... 

     

     

    you are correct, here is a reserve total malfunction with Icon, the rigger had time to take the rig off and picture it
