Dan BC’s thoughts on EPs and how to take charge of the situation every time…

“Do you know the one thing you can’t be if you’re gonna be a skydiver?

“You can’t be a wuss. Dangerous things are going to happen on skydives and when they do, you need to handle them calmly, confidently and immediately.” – Dan BC

“A few thoughts on parachute emergency procedures and how to take charge of the situation.  One fact to keep in mind.  In the history of skydiving no one (other than people doing CRW) was ever injured or killed because they cutaway too soon.  Many have been because they took too long.”

Note: There are a few different EP techniques that different jumpers use.  There are benefits to each.  For the purposes of this video I demonstrated using my technique of choice.  The approach and attitude I speak of regarding how to best execute the EPs of your choice is the same regardless of how you choose to do them.
