    I was unlucky myself and had a cutaway on my 25th jump that was also the jump I completed my A license. Was renting a rig that the packers the day before were using to teach a student with like 8 jump how to pack. He packed it and the packers spaced out and put it back on the rack by mistake, never repacking it properly. I ended up jumping it the next morning and dude had packed me a step through haha. Good time. Needless to say the DZ owner was hopping mad at the packers after I landed and they figured out what happened.

    Maybe your new super-techno canopy can't recover from a stall, but I used to stall my fat old Viking Superlight just for fun - usually down to 1000 feet only just to be safe.
    [Now that I think about it - I recall how I optimally trimmed the brake stow for deployment. It had a habit of stalling right after opening and I lessened the amount of stow until it could open smoothly without stalling right after opening. (Added additional stow loops down the steering lines).]

      Elliptical Parachutes have very small stabilizers and are very fast so if you stall them there is a chance that it will not recover like the older more stable parachutes used back in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. I actually performed a stall on a very fast elliptical parachute when it first came out called the Stiletto and I can attest that it is unpredictable. I stalled and then let up on one toggle to induce a stall spin and my lines corkscrewed to the point that it was locked in a reverse spin and I had to cut it away. Not much was known back then about how the elliptical parachutes responded to such stunts so I can see how this happened to this person since he was clearly spinning on his back when he cut away the main.

    • @chaos2476
      @chaos2476 Před 4 lety +1

      I should also mention that I have over 3,000 skydives and jumped in the late 70's, 80's, 90's and early 2000's so I have a great deal of experience with different parachutes and what this skydiver did is not uncommon. I use to stall my parachutes all the time and only had to cut away 1 time as a result of the canopy becoming unrecoverable. The altitude that he performed this stall was fine as he was able to safely execute emergency procedures. This guy did the right thing by chopping quickly before the spin becomes so violent that you may not be able to even cut away the chute. I have seen this happen so it is possible. These elliptical parachutes are great and a hell of a lot of fun but you just need to be aware of the negative aspects of these types of parachutes.

Once you’ve done it a couple of times it’s no thing right? This dude managed to stall this somehow, and at 1500’ I think I’d be doing my drills if my canopy had shit itself and twisted up.

    • @slartybarfastb3648
      @slartybarfastb3648 Před 4 lety +8

      He induced an aerodynamic stall by shortening the brake lines. You may wrap a few loops around your hands, grab higher up the lines or his lines were out of trim (too short). This gives deeper braking than designed resulting in a stall. When the canopy stalls, the wing tips will fold back behind the jumper and forward airspeed will cease. If the recovery (releasing the brakes) is too abrupt or asymmetrical, the canopy will go into line twists which happened here. He was too low to resolve the issue and elected to cut away.

    • @TheAcenightcreeper
      @TheAcenightcreeper Před 4 lety

      Slartybarfast B can you explain what a stall is for people like me who have never jumped...why is it bad and cannot recover from? Why did he do those things if it was going to cause a stall? What would have happened if he just kept his main chute?

    • @slartybarfastb3648
      @slartybarfastb3648 Před 4 lety +13

      @@TheAcenightcreeper A stall is when there is not enough air flowing over a wing to maintain lift or the air flow is disturbed and separates from the wing's surface. With a ram-air parachute, the wing is inflated by air entering the wing through openings in the leading edge. The trailing edge is closed which traps the air inside these cells. Because of this, during a stall, the parachute wing not only loses lift but also rigidity.
      Skydivers practice stalls because, while a rare occurrence, they can happen unintentionally. Recognizing when a stall is about to occur can help prevent them and proper recovery is helped through practice.
      This jumper had an assymetric stall which caused the parachute to spin faster than the jumper's body could follow. This caused line twists. The suspension lines wrap up into a single tight column. While these twists may usually be worked out without further incident, this particular situation caused a spinning downplane. The canopy spins rapidly while it enters a vertical dive.
      Speeds during a downplane can be near freefall speeds. A safe landing during this condition is not possible.

      I speculate that he probably pulled up on the toggles while there was a down current or turbulence near it and the sides of the chute got caught in two different flows while he was stalling. Considering the main looked good, it was probably a combination of things - his speed, wind speed, the angle of the chute. Thank goodness for reserves.

You do not need to do this, but the canopy does fly better with less air resistance You also get rid of that annoying sound the slider makes.
