I had a C line over malfunction my 37th jump. I was so far off the DZ I landed in a residential backyard. It matured me as a junior jumper pretty quickly. Good for you staying calm through it.
Line twists-Caused by unstable body position at pilot chute deployment. Depending on altitude, you can kick them out-but yours looked severe and "non-landable". Good job on making the cut-away decision.
@@tellurye Tough to call with that video footage-Any twist of your body throwing out the pilot chute-example-You throw pilot chute with your right hand-and its not "out" at a 90 degree but your arm comes forward on the throw-you taking your body into a turn-I know because I have an old video on VHS (yes, I'm that old) showing this. Deployment bag "has" to come off your back and out of the rig straight up and off your back. A throwing motion, any throwing motion of the pilot chute (I was taught) has to be executed "on heading". I had a tendency to look, throw and turn-and yes.I had line twists like he did-But-I learned to either kick them out-or twist the risers in the opposite direction. There's a good vid here on You Tube that shows someone doing just that. Hope this answered your question.
@@tellurye Here's the video I was referencing with regards to line twists: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PzqT-fTJDqE.html Also, a high performance canopy (elliptical) I believe-just begs for line twists if not "deployment on heading" and deploying in a stable position. Tried a Stilleto canopy once-it wasn't really my cup of tea. My main was 220 Fury, and then a 190 Sabre-both rigs with a 170 Reserve. Never really caught the "Swoop" craze. I was more into small RW groups and accuracy. I can land on a dime and give you .09 cents change back:))
I think you did everything right. I mean those lines were NOT coming untangled. You wouldve run out of time. I think you did great. SOrry about your chute tho. Those aint cheap.
Text book. Identify, diagnose and recovery. Well done. You took time to identify the problem but didn’t burn up too much altitude before making your decision.
I had first on my 7th jump, then on 106 and last one was on jump number 478 I think and close call at around jump number 600. It was not my fault any of it. First cutaway...pack job issue, I was noob, guy helped me to pack. Second my brake line snapped. Third, toggle fire, equipment issue. Fourth, issue with my left toggle returned, almost cutaway. Issue solved by strengthening stowing pocket.
