The reserve parachute line twist, WTF?
It seems that many skydivers are shocked by reserve parachute twisted lines video published on FB. Wingsuit, stable malfunction, tension knot, emergency procedure and reserve is twisting. So what is going on?
Wingsuit.
We are entering an interesting phase of skydiving, where the jumpers test the new assemblies. However, the main and reserve parachutes are tested by manufacturers and jumpers in different conditions. Ever increasing in sizes WSís generate more and more turbulence and increasingly interfere with the deployment process of both main and reserve canopies. 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.On my channel I have already addressed the WS turbulence forming issue and main canopy mysteriously sucked in after it was partially deployed.
