  1. Hello peeps! Not sure if this is the right place to post this question. Never made a post here before, been in the sport over 7 years now, but only been jumping solo for 1. Currently have 275 jumps, C license and coach rating. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has experienced this. My opening today was perfectly normal, except that my pilot chute had wrapped around my brake lines on the left side. I did a few flares and yes, it was turning slightly and there was a little bit more pressure on that side, but I felt safe to land, thankfully had no problem and stood it up. It did feel weird though, especially when landing. Just curious if anyone out there has had the same thing, but maybe even worse and what might happen unexpectedly as a result of that, thinking mostly if you are too low for a cutaway. I've attached some still I took from the video. You can see initially it was fine, but at some point when I looked away it wrapped. Thanks for the info everyone! Love my sky fam! Ryan

    Peace!

  3. I own a Mirage G4.1 M5 and use a sabre 2 190. IT fits very well and I could probably put a 210 in although it would be kind of tight. But depending on your reserve it may fit well. I have a Tempo 210 as my reserve, which is a little bigger than recommend but it fits well. If you had a PDR176 or optimum 193 it should be no problem!
