We live here, so we've got our own gear.

@@clriggs who are you? how recently did you move to pr ?

@@SamuelTravisxsammytrav been here a while. do you still fly here?

Amazed we had not met yet. I will be back to Puerto Rico Oct 17!. I have been avoiding the hot summers 😅

Look at the right stabilizer at 0:17 . Scary stuff! Someone should take the manufacturer out of business! :-) I believe it all could have avoided with a looser chest strap and pulling down the slider. It loks like the risers are "held back" from spreading. Just making them spread a little makes a lot of difference.

@@TheHellis i know you are making a joke, but not everyone else will understand that. There is no canopy collapse, only pilot error.

@@Brian-Germain fair enough. My previous post was a joke. But spreading the risers would probably have prevented it. That is for real

@@TheHellis Spreading the risers before the linetwist happens usually prevents it, this is true. Flying coordinated turns without aggressive toggle inputs will also do that.

Caleb Countess I have never been able to loosen the chest strap after the main canopy has opened due to tightness. Now I leave it loose prior to the skydive.

@@MrSmith-ip7iu Leaving the chest strap loose for the freefall can have very negative consequences. Please watch this video to learn more about how to loosen it after opening. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoaUnn9pjrGCf7s

@@Brian-Germain Thank you, oh Great Master Germain. I had listened to your videos about fear inoculation and rear riser swoops; I had passed a coached jump with a broken ankle by doing a dive exit with my eyes closed from the Cessna 182 at 11’000 feet high on a brisk, cloudy day on the last week of September into a straddle pike front loop followed by a pike front loop and a froggie splits front loop with a shooting star press into deployment at 3’000 feet. As I approached the landing field I realized that the target is to my left 800’ down so as I headed north with a eastbound crosswind and did a right 270* rear riser swoop landing in a baseball slide 1 metre from the target. The wind even blew the canopy down onto the tuffet for the touchdown...cheers. The Flight 1 101&102 courses were also good practice for collapsing the slider and loosening the chest strap.
