___________________________________
** What happened **
This crazy incident started off with a bag lock malfunction that quickly turned into a one-in-a-million freak accident -- the hard housing passed through the 3-ring assembly -- which had to be cut way with a hook knife to avoid an entanglement with her reserve.
** Why did it happen **
The Initial Malfunction
We can’t see the initial malfunction, but the jumper said it was a bag lock. Bag locks occur for a wide variety of reasons, but most are related to improper packing procedures. Often the mistake is putting too much excess line through a stow and creating a large "bite" that can then catch and lock onto a neighboring bite on the d-bag during the deployment process.
The Incomplete Cutaway
It appears that in, what can only be described as a freak accident, this jumper’s hard housing passed through the second ring on her 3-ring-assembly and prevented a clean cutaway of her main parachute. Her rig was inspected, and it was confirmed that her container was properly assembled. One rigger we consulted believes that the exposed hard housing was possibly whipping around and could have passed through the second ring before the reserve deployment created enough pull to cause the cutaway to occur.
** How could it be prevented **
Bag locks
Diligent packing is the key here. When packing a parachute, skydivers should make sure they’re doing it slowly, taking each step one at a time, and not rushing. Complacency often occurs even with the most experienced jumpers because they’re chatting with one another during a pack job or rushing to make a call. Jumpers should make sure to not put too much excess lines through their stows; no more than 2 inches, which can help prevent the stows from potentially catching on one another. One instructor who viewed this video also noted that forgetting to cock a pilot chute could have potentially caused this incident; the main could have left the container but, without the snatch force from a pilot chute to pull through a tight stow, it could have stayed in the deployment bag until the jolt from the reserve opening finally started the deployment.
The Incomplete Cutaway
As noted earlier, this appears to have been a one-in-a-million event that can only be written off to divine intervention. Some incidents cannot be prevented but, fortunately, this jumper was heads-up enough to recognize what she needed to do.
** Additional Notes **
Hook Knives
A DZM I know once argued that hook knives should be a mandatory piece of equipment included in gear checks. This video is the perfect example of just how important a hook knife can be to saving your life. Notably, the jumper in this video said she only started carrying a hook knife a week before this incident and never thought she would need to use it. We’re really happy she did.
Canopy Separation
We also wanted to note that this jumper does an excellent job preventing these two canopies from entangling. She knew that the spinning main canopy posed a risk and did a good job keeping it away from her reserve while she got out her hook knife for the (literal) cut away.

[@Mark-et8vh]

Indeed. Back in 'the day', I jumped a T-10 for my first 50 jumps, before moving up to and purchasing a 'sport chute'. That rig came with a jump knife on the chest strap and I had one on my chest strap on the last rig I jumped, (Goliath). I never had to use it, but did start to reach for it a time or two.

[@leeglaze]

Not that it is a big deal, but the proper spelling for the word that describes a loop of rope is “bight”, but it’s pronounced “bite”. It’s an Marlinespike Seamanship term, back when people used to get around in sailing ships.

[@AuroraClair]

That blade went through the risers like butter O.o I was so nervous and thought ot will be a struggle to cut through. Damn, what knife was that? I know not all go through material that snooooothly.

[@richardtofield9959]

cant remember who gave me this laconic advice: the hook knife is pretty much for a lineover on the reserve, that line is probably a brake line,it may be as well to cut both of them/be prepared to cut the second immediately in case you chose wrong

@@Jessebella1 what would a second knife have done for him? This is a time for careful deliberate action, not rushing. Sure we can sit here and optimize the flow afterwards but the outcome wouldn't have improved. He probably could have safely landed it but better to ditch the main.

That's a hell of a hook knife ! I've been a career firefighter for over 25 years and we tested at least ten different "seatbelt cutters" (hook knife), and never found a ONE that was worth a s**t ! They would all bind up under load. This just amazed the hell out of me. Nice job !

[@Brian-Peck]

they tend to work better with tension in my experience. If you don't create enough tension on the belt it wants to bunch and bind. keep it taught and it cuts like butter

[@randyporter3491]

Brian Peck You're right Brian. When we conducted testing, we used tubular webbing and flat webbing, of different widths, including standard seatbelt strap. We put them under varying tension, from 25# up to body weight. Some of the cutters did cut, but not consistent, or always cleanly. Some of the most expensive models, cut the worst. We were also testing pocket knives with a cutting hook, which were mostly useless on most materials. The dual blade razor cutters did the best. But, like you said, under tension.

[@SEILLC]

I've never really seen one that I'd fully trust either, but they were mini-risers and there was only one to cut. But I'm thinking she had some luck too.

She took soooo long to cut that thing free

[@d-elektra7101]

well, because I was trying to release those rings first manually. And no trainings on cutting risers with a hook knife. An idea popped up quite late.

[@BreakingBad13]

Ok now I want a hook knife ! Where did she put it though? I can't see properly.

[@d-elektra7101]

on the leg strap.

[@ashleymendoza1205]

Дарья Киян where did you buy this knife?

[@d-elektra7101]

Ashley Mendoza in Russia. Every dz selling it. Pelican knife.

[@joeytagliaferro3760]

How does this happen?

[@TEEMsky]

Heu Joey, you can read a full breakdown of the incident in the video description.

[@marksmith9176]

Well done 👍

[@ДмитрийПопов-э7в]

цыкочька великолепна!

[@ДмитрийПопов-э7в]

это все паравис

[@ОлегЗайцев-х2ы]

Стропорез - рулит, но и кзу прикольно зачековали...

[@d-elektra7101]

Олег Зайцев с кзу было все нормально. Параавис уже выпустил бюллетень о доработке систем после этого случая. Надо закрепить боуден петлей

[@Moe-yi2qg]

Подушку отцепки не доконца вытянула и не пробила тросик получается?

[@ruslankochnev4270]

Нет. Смотрите до конца видео, там фотка есть. В кольца КЗУ попал боудэн отцепки, так как возможно был перекручен.

[@Moe-yi2qg]

Ruslan Kochnev увидел, спасибо Руслан.

This channel has really deterred me from becoming a skydiver.

Then road accident statistics should stop you taking driving lessons. Considering the millions of jumps per year: skydiving is a very safe sport. Many malfunctions are caused by jumper error or packing errors rather than equipment failure. As long as the canopy is in good condition packed correctly and deployed correctly, there will be no issues. This video shows a malfunction that rarely happens and was dealt with accordingly, she landed safely under her reserve: how many near misses do drivers have but don't tear up their licence?
