Well I hope some one has one more current but I guess a mal is still a mal. I was doing a 30 sec delay helping a young guy do some RW. After playing around with 2 man tracked and pulled my ripcord (yes he did say ripcord)at about 2500 ft. my canopy's whole left side didn't open, Hey but the right side did. Very fast spinning malfuntion. I tried to cutaway and wouldn't you know I only got one side (1 and half shot capewells) well I only thought I was spinning before. I had to reach up and take my weight off the riser and free the lug about 1500 now (right before I was thinking I might have to dump this reserve up in that shit) anyway got a clean cutaway and dumped my reserve (a 24ft. round)I was osilating (i never could spell) and hit the ground like a sack of shit! but hey no injuries and I was on the ground. I shook for two days. Some Whuffo's saw my main and picked it up for me ( hell they were thrilled i gave them what they come to see. My family was on the DZ watching and would never come back again. As for the next jump the next weekend. My knee's were knocking togather so hard they hurt when I got down. But the amazing thing is as soon as I got out the door everthing felt great the fear was gone, it came back when it was time to pull but when I saw good canopy well it was one of my best jumps ever. After that one everything was cool. Hope this helps some.
