The exit funneled and \u2013 unknown to me \u2013 my cutaway handle managed to flip under the lift web. I tracked off from the 8-way, pitched my Stiletto 107 and it opened in a dive with lots of line twists, that were so low that they had my head pinned back. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I went to go cut it away&#8230; And to my surprise, there was no handle. So I split my risers and looked down to see nothing but lift web. I tried to dig the handle out, but this was back when I was 140 pounds and weight &#8216;vests&#8217; were the rage. The handle was neatly tucked under the lift web and between two weights. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>As I was spinning, I decided that around 500-600 feet I was going to pull the reserve into the main. I was afraid that any lower it might not inflate, and any higher that it would have longer to double mal. That, or that I would just have longer to know I was a dead man. (I&#8217;m not saying that is the best course of action, but it was what went through my head at the time!) <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><p> I pretty much knew I was dead<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I looked at my alti and saw I was about 1,200 feet. I noticed my gloves and thought, &#8220;If it weren&#8217;t for these fu*king gloves, I might be able to get the handle&#8230; Oh hell, I have time.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>So I took off my right glove, dug between the lift web and the vest and managed to pop the handle out&#8230; a quick look at the ground told me it was now or never, so I chopped and tried to roll into the relative wind while pulling the silver handle. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what height I was when I chopped. I&#8217;d guess maybe 600-700 feet. My reserve opened with one half twist and then I managed to find a firebreak to land on (really it was what was below me). I had about a 6-8 second canopy ride. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The things that run through your mind at a time like this are pretty strange. I pretty much knew I was dead. I figured the main and reserve would entangle and I would hit hard enough to be wounded bad enough that I would not survive. Heck I even imagined the fatality report stating that no-one knew why a guy that had had mals before didn&#8217;t cutaway before dumping his reserve. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I started walking to the road and found my main and freebag entangled together. When I got to the road some jumpers on the way to Z Hills stopped and picked me up. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I decided that around 500-600 feet I was going to pull the reserve into the main<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>As I walked past the bunker, Mike Truffer, Derek Thomas, and Ron Andre were all standing there. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Truffer: <em>&#8220;I think you could have kicked out of it.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\nThomas: <em>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t a hard cutaway was it?&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\nAndre: <em>&#8220;Damn, we thought you were dead&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The guys from the 8-way team were all huddled around the monitor with a bunch of other folks and they were debriefing the malfunction. I said, &#8220;I&#8217;d like to thank each of you for coming to get me \u2013 jerks!&#8221; Someone piped up, &#8220;Suck it up, we saw you landed fine.&#8221; They asked me what the heck happened and I told them about the glove. They asked if I had kept my handles and I showed them the handles <strong>and<\/strong> the glove. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Never never never give up<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We had one more jump to do that camp.
