1200th Jump/ 3rd Cutaway 

Honestly I thought he handled it like a pro, sure could of been much worse but he knew what to do, it was done quick and they both live another day.

Small reverse

@@f900ex5 Yes he did, but what I meant was the reserve canopy that seems to keep stalling.

Lol, I just had another cutaway today.

@@KakashiYuy slider this time as well?

@isakhammer6558 The left brake lines were wreaked around the right line set

“Was that supposed to happen ?” Yes - yes it was!

You should have all emergency procedures learned by heart. The reserve chute is also made to open very fast and fail less. A jump is actually a pretty calm experience if you know your stuff.

@@user-bn9xy2on8i I’ve almost got my AFF! I feel like if and when the time comes I’ll handle the cutaway well. But I’d prefer it never happen.

The Cutaway is in my right hand (the yellow cables). The blue is Spectra line from the reserve handle (this would be metal on sport rig)

It's a GoPro on a glove mount

@AuroraClair The malfunction was slider up and it wouldn't come down. The reserve was doing a stall surge because the brakes are set right at the edge of stalling but not dangerous. You are right, it can be uncomfortable in a stall surge, especially when it's your reserve but when this happened I had recently completed a paragliding SIV course where I had been purposely individuals stall surges so it was still familiar. If you are interested in skydiving go for it, being nervous is normal but once you get to the dropzone and watch a few groups of people land successfully it will help with your nerves.

Nothing wrong with it, but on that model of reserve the brake lines are stowed fairly deep and that puts it on the edge of stalling, once I unstowed the brakes it flew perfect.

@@KakashiYuy Yeah I was wondering why it was bowtieing! Pucker moment!

@gouda2872 If you end up getting into paragliding and do a SIV course then you will get a lot of experience with stall surges like that. But you are correct most other tandem instructors I work with really don't like it lol.

@@KakashiYuy When I do them to find the stall point of the canopy I'm flyin, I don't like it either lol

Lol

I’ve had four cutaways so far and I’ve yet to drop one

I agree that outside video creates a superior product for freefall, but the hand cam allows for shots under canopy that can't be achieved with outside video alone. I have seen a few drop zones do a mix of both editing them together. I just huck the drogues and don't know much about the economics of it all, but it does appear that handcam is here to stay.

Welcome to basic economics

Did you pull both handles at the same time?

@@KakashiYuy you've obviously not watched my TDM vids then?...

@@AMM278 this has nothin todo with money it has to do with proper promotion of the business of freefall.
