Skydiving Malfunctions - Crazy Line Twists & Low Altitude

- This was an everyday skydive. Nothing odd and just another jump... until things went wrong, and fast! The skydiver on this jumper was an advanced skydiver and their decision altitude was 1800ft. As you can see, they fought all the way until it was close, but should have cut away when they checked their altimeter the 3rd time.
.
Line twists are not often this bad and to be honest, the smarter decision would have been to perform emergency procedures at a higher altitude, rather than fight the malfunction.
I remember when they taught us in training that part of our emergency procedures was to give our canopy the finger.
Look, locate, locate, flip main canopy off, peel, punch, arch, peel, punch, 1000, 2000, 3000, check
the double middle finger was badass! glad you got down ok!
Lol
twist in the wrong direction......
Why was he twisting it worse?
That was what I saw. At @1:23 he went to do the right thing pulling the risers APART, but for some reason @1:25 right up to his middle finger at @1:38 he started to tighten the twist UP ? ? ? At first I thought he had done it deliberately to get some "body purchase" from which to kick the twists out. That seemed to "work" after @1:57. But it seemed a strange waste of 30seconds ?
When it once happened to me, IMMEDIATE pulling apart the risers stopped the twisting, then holding them apart and "bicycling kicks" untwisted them as fast as they had twisted ? ? Made me realise how important a stable body position is at deployment ?
I think you made it worse by twisting it down before it stopped spinning
How are you a licensed Sky Diver and not know your emergency procedures for line twists??? You pull the risers apart and bicycle kick, not whatever the fuck that was.
Please go over this, I plan on tandem but one day want to understand
He was purposely moving the twist lower to get better control of them. The guy has over 200 jumps compared to your 0.
He did good, like soldozer said he was moving the twist lower. Duh....
@@SOLDOZER He's right though. I had a severe twist my very first jump and he described the procedure I used. You kick your legs separately and you keep kicking with the leg that makes you spin. You will spin a quarter turn each kick.
My instructor reiterated that it's not even an emergency. I don't know who's teaching this procedure but I'm sure glad my instructor didn't.

Line twist are not an emergency? LOL Line twist are 100% an emergency and taught in Malfunction Junction in every AFF course as such. Either you have never jumped in your life or your instructor in a complete muppet.
He forgot his basic training. Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
And that's how you get your cardio in while skydiving. I've had many line twists. Always got out of them.
@@jeffstepp-ou8re Are you not taught spread the risers and kick?
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td Yes, I've never cut away a line twist, as long as the parachute is flying correctly, just kick out of it.
I just got this 2 weeks ago and crashed. It was my 8th jump. Ended up in hospital but no injuries thx god. People on the ground told me they thought I was 100% dead when they saw me in the sky
Learn in which direction to twist!🤦♂️
I had the same thing yesterday. I cut away at 1800. I recovered everything. I felt the same way when I had to cut away from line twists.
Body position!
Left out the part where the stuident started tracking straight down jump run
I know right and her form, what kinda flight form is that
You resolve your twisted lines with kicking your knee in the direction to untwist the lines, doing it by hand was very dangerous.
Another clueless armchair jumper that does not understand what he was doing.
