A bag lock malfunction is a relatively simple high-speed malfunction to clear with a cutaway, but heavy line twists on a reserve canopy is something no skydiver wants to see.
"The bag lock was caused by two lines getting caught around the tuck tabs on the d-bag — the tuck tabs were used on the front of the d-bag instead of grommets."
And bonus points for holding on to both of his handles 🙂
Out of curiosity, do you consider this incident to be a "double malfunction?" Do you consider line twists to be a type of malfunction or just a nuisance?
