Equally deadly like the attempt to return to flat position - the worst position for the reserve pull. These three seconds were associated with a very dangerous acceleration trend.

How to define 'immediately'? Experienced jumper is able to feel that both risers 3-rings have been released and he has parted from canopy, it just takes less than a second to realize for the brain flooded with adrenaline. If the jumper after main canopy cut-out immediately pulled a reserve, then the scenario would be different.

Watch movie about spring loaded pilotchute hasitating in the low pressure zone and imagine how much bigger is surfice of WSĪfter three seconds turbulences increased and the pilot chute was in their zone. And that's how the producers carry out the tests. During tests on dummies it can be hardly expected that they will keep flat, stable position after throwing them off of the aircraft. Flat, neutral position is the WORST position to deploy the reserve parachute regardless of brand, size, container type and condition of the the spring. It is close to the center of mass and in the flat position it needs to pop up above a turbulence zone. The deployment of the reserve parachute is initiated by the spring-loaded pilot chute placed at the widest point of the outline of the jumperís body. He has provoked the most unfavorable situation for reserve parachute deployment initiation. It can be assumed that the air resistance of the lower part of his suit began to set him horizontally, thus exposing a large area of the suit perpendicular to the relative wind.

During those 3 seconds the camera image is very stable.

I think that it was his intended action and this could have a major impact on the further development of events. The jumper is waiting 3 seconds after main canopy cutting away before pulling the reserve. And here comes the first interesting case. If, for example he is additionally a BASE jumper, it is possible that the decision altitude for cutting away the main may be lower than for the average jumper.Īt some point however, he is cutting away from his main parachute.

On the plus side you have to include that he is constantly controlling the altitude and acting in accordance with his plan. It took him 35 seconds to fight with the main parachute. I'll say that itís a shame that such an experienced parachutist, who represents the brand for gladiators, shows the example of such an improper behavior. It seems that the jumper has already experienced such a malfunction, and perhaps he had been able to fix it before, because he is trying to regain the canopy correct state for a long time. Packing, lines condition or other cause is leading to malfunction known as tension knot (so it seems to me at least). However, good body position and good pilot chute throw-out is allowing for the nice start for the canopy deployment. In the video that shocked part of the society you can see a nice, stable deployment of the main canopy, which is, according to the comments of more experienced WS skydivers (and in my opinion too) small, perhaps too small. I know this is a very difficult subject considering ones functioning in the herd ) The larger the WS, the greater should be the canopy, if we consider the turbulences. Of course, the ratio between the main canopy and WS sizes seems to be very significant. During opening of the main parachute, while maintaining the correct figure, one can count on a symmetric exposition of the canopy leading edge. This video is a proof of how interesting and difficult for the jumper phenomenons take place in the area of low pressure and in the zone of greatest turbulence behind his more and more size increasing WS. On my channel I have already addressed the WS turbulence forming issue and main canopy mysteriously sucked in after it was partially deployed. While the phase of the main parachute deployment is better thought-through and trained (jumpers care about the position, apply longer pilot chute bridle, even modern containers are modified - as the last Sun Path product) than the reserve parachute opening is quite a fresh part of parachuting history. Ever increasing in sizes WSís generate more and more turbulence and increasingly interfere with the deployment process of both main and reserve canopies. However, the main and reserve parachutes are tested by manufacturers and jumpers in different conditions. We are entering an interesting phase of skydiving, where the jumpers test the new assemblies. Wingsuit, stable malfunction, tension knot, emergency procedure and reserve is twisting. The reserve parachute line twist, WTF? It seems that many skydivers are shocked by reserve parachute twisted lines video published on FB.
