If there's anything worse than having a malfunction/cutaway in a wingsuit, it's having to kick out lots of line twists on your reserve.
I have to say I've never seen a malfunction like this before. In this particular incident, a broken slider stop is what caused the slider to get stuck. Click here to see what that looks like: bit.ly/1XpsQYb

Maybe he was still spinning when he deployed the reserve. Causing twist in the reserve lines when that opened.

@ryanscutt8783 2 жыл бұрын

@@PlayLists-For-Everyone if you jump 10 to 50 times per week, and record video on each jump, that quickly adds up to a lot of video footage to manage. Most canopy footage is useless (or at least it's not often published), so many just stop the camera when under a good chute.

Great control of skill, although it only takes one line over during pacing which is what it looks like, he still never panicked, kept his composure and landed safely! Perfect landing 👍🏻

beavis847 I don’t know anymore after watching again? You are right in the fact that his slider was stuck, but is it impeding on his lines or causing any reason for his left wing tip to open? I’ve watched it twice since your comment and I can’t quite tell anymore? Thoughts?

@patrickswayze2596 4 жыл бұрын

beavis847 even with the slider locked it shouldn’t cause that much of the wing to be caught up? Should it? If so I’ve never seen that serious of a mal from just a slider lock? But that’s not to say it isn’t... Cheers

@chrisevilgenius 7 жыл бұрын

I had this malfunction just recently, it was caused by old lines which had shrunk causing the line attachment points to pull through the grommets. In my case it cleared easily by gently pulling on the front risers but it still freaked me out and I grounded myself until I had the canopy relined.

@janellmills5678 7 жыл бұрын

chrisevilgenius you didn't have this mal because of an old line set. His brakes and possibly d's aren't routed through the gromet on his slider.... which means whoever packed it is a dumbfuck and needs to gtfo the packing floor and he needs to have a Rigger install his slider.

@mikeferguson4816 4 жыл бұрын

Well, though this video is several years old, this wingsuiter appears to have used the "Don't delay, cut away!" method -- and he was under his spinning canopy at 4000', nice! I agree with some other folks who think that RSLs are still statistically better than not...I'm a chickenshit skydiver, and I pretty much only wingsuit (I have no plans to BASE jump) and I have RSL, Skyhook, and Wingsuit specific Cypres AAD, and I jump a big 210 WinX... (~230 lbs exit weight) and on top of that, I pitch my main at 4000' so that I always have a buffer of altitude. I've read most every Parachutist incident report for the last 7 years, because I want to learn from others' mistakes and learn what NOT to do...statistically, you're better off with an RSL, MARD, AAD, etc, than without. Most deaths that I read about were very experienced jumpers that fought a malfunction too long, cut away too low to fully inflate the reserve, or didn't even pull the reserve... So I'd rather be spun up under a "there and square" reserve, than screaming "OH FU..." for the last split second of my life. And btw, I'm trying to coin the term "The weathervane technique" of getting out of line twists when wearing a wingsuit. If you're spun up in line twists -- absent a line over or other malfunction -- close your leg wing so that it doesn't counter act what you're about to do...figure out which way you need to turn, to UN-twist. Then figure out which way the relative wind is coming from. i.e. are you facing backwards as your canopy flies, and the wind is at your back? Once you've figured which direction to UN-twist, and which direction the wind is coming from, AND your legs are together to close your leg wing, think about which wing will start you spinning in your desired direction...like a weathervane, then stick that one wing out and catch the wind to start rotating. Once you've spun 180 degrees, switch arms to keep the UN-twist going. It works SO WELL and effortlessly rather than kicking your legs, or trying to mash/spread risers. Once the relative wind starts rotating you and you switch arms every half turn, it's quick & easy to get out of line twists in a wingsuit. "The weathervane technique!" (and remember to close your legs!) here you go: skydivemanual.altervista.org/blog/rsl-skyhook-or-faith-work-by-dan-brodsky-chenfeld/ and there's this report too... parachutistonline.com/p/Article/non-fatal-incident-summary-1

@geekdiggy 2 жыл бұрын

i figured this out a long time ago and it's nice to see someone else thought of it too. i could never understand why everyone says "kick out" because it seldom ever seems to do the trick. i'm glad someone smarter than me came up with a word for it. it seems the weathervane trick could work even without a wingsuit, as it appears freeflyers have a tremendous amount of control using just their hands as propellers during freefall, so the same could be applied to line twists.

I have had so much line twist on a main that it pulled my shoulders back and made it hard to get the handles. I decided to kick my way out of it which was wrong because I was getting too low for reserve by the time I (luckily) got it fully open... also had lost height awareness and thought reserve was still a fair option - WRONG - grounded for the day - lesson learned. If in doubt throw it out. This was all before AODs were a thing except for students.

@quoth_raven 5 жыл бұрын

The first malfunction is a cravat, which is much more likely to happen on more elongated wings (eg. Paragliders). We solve it by pumping on the brakes on the side that is stuck, pulling on the outermost line of the wing (stabilo line) or even stalling the wing (if you are able). Ideally we use weight shift and a careful break on the opposite side to stop the rotation while we get it out.

Does the reserve automatically open when you cut away the main?

@jonatancordoba7984 3 жыл бұрын

It does if you have some sort of reserve deployment assistance gear. There are a few types of them but basically (and oversimplifying) consist on having your main and reserve connected in some way so that when you cut away your main, your reserve pulls out. But that's not standard equipment. Traditionally you will have two handles, one for cut your main and one for reserve deployment (which will deploy like your main using a pilot chute).

@mikeferguson4816 5 жыл бұрын

Agreed...there's been one occasion that sticking my wing out didn't work quickly...maybe my legs/leg-wing was counteracting; however, in a wingsuit, on numerous occasions, figuring out which way you need to un-twist, and then sticking the proper wing out, then waiting for a half turn, and changing wings to continue momentum in the correct direction, then alternating wings every half turn, does the trick. So much better than trying to kick out.
