Aviation isn’t for the stupid, weak or casual participant.
It demands a significant investment of time, study and balls. And will kill you faster than a new rapper if there’s any inattention or neglect. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It isn't the best reporting ever, but I'm guessing her main got tangled and was spinning her, and she deployed her reserve but not with enough altitude to inflate it before she impacted terrain. I watched a pro do an intentional cutaway too low at Lakehurst in the mid 80s. His reserve barely moved before he hit. Ended the same. |

Ok, now, you'll be coming out here, and you'll be doing a stable fall facedown, frog modified. Now, out here comes the static line, 'cause it goes, like, from this to here, see? And as the pilot chute'll open, it'll pull the bridle out, and then the main canopy'll be open, see, because they're all connected. And you'll be down here, and you'll be looking up here for the W.D.I. indicator and you're also gonna check for Mae West and if that's not there, then you need to check here for 4 panels and a hole. Now, when you come down, you're gonna find the "P," and you're gonna land over here, and you're gonna get in this position. Except, you don't wanna do that because that means you're in trouble. So what you wanna do is you wanna get right here, and then you're gonna come around here, and you're gonna fold up, and you're gonna do a toggle and jettison, and always watch the horizon, Ok?

Quote HistoryCan anyone familiar with skydiving explain this to me? The parachute is connected to the harness by several lines. One of them ended up over the canopy as it opened, which then inflated asymmetrically and therefore started spinning. It is a somewhat rare malfunction. She then should have pulled a handle to get rid of it to open her second reserve parachute. She failed to do so and waited too long until she was extremely low and the second parachute had no time to inflate anymore. Basically her fault for not performing emergency procedures in time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Reserve should have activated via the AAD. No. AAD fires when you are falling fast, i.e. in freefall. Her first canopy slowed her descent enough that it did not fire. Even if it did, it would probably not have saved her as it would just entangle with the first canopy due to the spin. Also, she did a military style static line jump when the first canopy opens as soon as she is out the door, so there was not much freefall to begin with. She should have cut away the main canopy while she was still high enough to do so. She probably froze due to lack of experience and didn't do what she was supposed to do until it was too late. Ironically, if she did nothing and just spun into the ground, she might have survived with some broken bones. |

I've never ridden a parachute, so I'm not familiar.
When you say "cut away," do you mean pull some sort of OH-SHIT-EJECTO-HANDLE that separates you from fucked-up-parachute #1 in one fell swoop? How the hell does somebody get cleared for solo jumping, and not know about the OH-SHIT-EJECTO-HANDLE? |

Sounds like she found the cutaway handle, just a bit too late. On a student rig like what she would have had, the cutaway will also deploy the reserve automatically. All I can figure is her main wasn't messed up bad enough to fire the AAD. Normally a student rig would have an AAD that would fire at a pretty slow speed. |

How the hell does somebody get cleared for solo jumping, and not know about the OH-SHIT-EJECTO-HANDLE? Yes. You pull a handle that releases the main parachute. Then you pull a second handle to open the reserve, but that part is often done automatically by a wired connection called the RSL. This was her first solo jump AFAIK. It is the instructors' job to drill into students what to do when something goes wrong. Of course, you don't really know how someone will react when they are put in that position until they actually do it. So yeah, this was not supposed to happen and was easily avoidable if she just followed her training. She did not. |

Normally a student rig would have an AAD that would fire at a pretty slow speed. The AAD firing would do no good as long as she still has a malfunctioning main. Think about it. Her spinning under the main would just mean that the main parachute and the reserve get twisted up and collapse, a worse scenario than just spinning into the ground under a single partially inflated parachute. She had to get rid of the main parachute first but failed to do so. She rode that malfunction for over a minute. No reason why she could not have pulled the handle earlier. |
