Sorry rich! While i was writing that i was trying to write (even though i wont do turns/low turns like that ever again...and it wont happen ever again) in parenthesis but it didnt fit right in the sentence...so i took it out! But if that does happen up high..(i will start to deploy at 4500 from now on) and i have to chop anything my cutaway procedures will kick in right away and ill get that canopy off my rig much faster then i did in this cutaway! -

I'm not trying to dump on you after all the rest of this thread, but I just wanted to point out that that is one helluva scary statement. It also got me thinking a bit - we are (or should be) very aware of hard decks etc but that is certainly a lot easier to be aware of when you open with a malfunction, than if you induce one later on. i kind of wrote that the wrong way...I KNEW I WAS LOW...i knew i was under 1550...thats the last number i saw on my alti when it spun up on me. I just didnt know i was at im guessing 600-800 when i chopped...i didnt know if i got that handle out 2.5-3 seconds later i woulda been dead..ya know? so i knew i was very low but it processed right when the reserve opened that if i got that handle out 2 seconds later id be seriously injured or dead It was my very first spinner and chop...if that happens to me ever again and i was low my hands would go right for the handles and i would rip those things out...opened up my eyes alot to cutaway procedures and how little time i have! -

Dont anyone think im coming off as being conceeded or cocky with the way im saying this but....if i was scared i would have been screaming or cursing during the ordeal. Honestly i was shaken up when i landed because i reviewed the tape and realized how fucked i could have been if i got that handle out 2 seconds later. I had no clue i was that low when i chopped, there was no time for that to process while it was happening. Although you hear a very quiet "Jesus" when im laying my reserve down at the end. -

Well i feel like the biggest idiot for what happened..im pretty embarassed i dont want to even post on here anymore...i had a long talk with an instructor at my DZ right after the incident...im taking a cnopy control class on saturday and sunday of this weekend and i am going to upsize to a 170 for 25 jumps or until my instructors think im good to go! i just posted that video so other people can learn from my mistakes...ill be that idiot who it happened to...ill take the heat for it...i put myself out there and you all know who i am...im happy if it will save lifes and cutaways form newer jumpers to come from seeing my fottage and how bad and quick shit can go wrong. -
sick pics!

Canon Vixia HF100 New Small HD thats coming out.
markovwgti replied to tripleflip18's topic in Photography and Video
most people go with a sony pc-1000....great camera...even for your wedding! But dont jump it before 200 jumps ;) -
Yeah its a bas ass helmet! I didnt wanna go with the clip in part since turning it up or down and sideways doesnt do much for me! Im taking it snowboarding this weekend so ill see how it works on the slopes!
-
Well i have to say it was worth the 2.5 month(a bit longer then expected because i changed the size on them a few times) wait for my TonFly Feugo Pro. This helmet is by far the most comfortable helmet i have owned...and i have owned a Bonehead Optik Illusion and a 2k Composites FF2! It is very very light! Here are some pics of my set-up. I have a Sony PC-1000 Inside a Cookie Box and a Canon Digital Rebel XTi Mounted on a Goldmember, with a bite Switch coming out front!
