At the bottom end of Geoff's Level 1 AFF jump, he deploys his main and has a bag lock. Watch the video to see how the situation gets handled by the instructor on his reserve side. According to Geoff, the fun wasn't over once the video ends. The reserve deployment released the bag lock, giving him a two-out. Once he cleared the line twists, the canopies formed a downplane. He safely cleared the main, then rocked a downwind landing under his reserve. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Having a low cutaway around 1,000 feet is never fun, neither is having 6 solid line twists on your reserve. Good thing he had a Skyhook and could clear those line twists by 500ft. Which would you prefer: get stable before deploying your reserve or line twists on an open/flying reserve?

Who needs to flare when the ground is there to stop you. Gravity: 1, Skydiver: 0.

Chances are you probably already know what to do if your canopy re-inflates and tosses you around after you've landed. But, when you're in the moment, it can be hard to think clearly. In this particular case, the wind picked up this skydiver a handful of times, dragging them on the ground and into a fence. So, what do you do if this happens to you?

POV footage of a paratrooper being "off-dropped" in a less-than-ideal location. Nothing says pucker factor than the fear of a pine tree up the tail! His reaction is priceless.

As if dealing with more line twists after cutting away wasn't a nuisance, (possibly) losing your Velo 111 main and shattering your camera lens makes for an all-around expensive day of jumping.

Konstantine had a premature opening during Skydive Chicago's Summerfest 2013. The only problem... he was supposed to be in the base for the Illinois State Head-Up big way formation record! No worries though, Rook Nelson pulls a "put me in coach" and saves the day. They got the record on the first jump the next day too! Recap: Konstantine wasn't hurt, Rook is a rock star, and they set the record (15-Way). Happy endings all around! Seriously, though... watch your rigs out the door people.Thanks to Ben Nelson of the B-Team for the edit.

Oh, that lovely moment during deployment when you look up and say, "FACK!" A step-through malfunction is guaranteed to make any deployment more interesting. Good job on staying calm, considering it was his first cutaway. Maybe revisit some packing principles though... or your packer!

We've all seen how scary it is to have a parachute wrap around the strut of a helicopter. Yikes. Well here's the unfortunate end result of a canopy that wraps around a helicopter's tail rotor. Anyone know more details about this incident?
