When you first push the risers together you may be able to spot any offset in the risers, creating asymmetrical inputs. It might be possible to bring the risers back into a symmetrical alignment by just pulling on the one furthest away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. It is also possible to stop a turn once the twists are in the risers by reaching up above the twists and steering out of the turn using the opposite rear riser to the direction of the turn \u2013 if you are turning to the right, grab the left rear riser above the twists and pull. NOTE: your canopy is steerable even when you have twists in the risers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-caution\">CAUTION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remain altitude aware throughout the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your system is spinning and you begin to feel dizzy, cut away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are unable to twist the risers due to too much tension\/lack of grip strength\/other, cut away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If at any point during this process you reach your decision altitude, and you still don\u2019t have a steerable canopy, cut away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always follow your own safety standards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h--0\">\u200b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pablo-hernandez-deals-with-spinning-line-twists\"><em>Pablo Hernandez deals with spinning line twists <\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Line Twists High Altitude\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/235711185?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pablo Hernandez, Flight-1 instructor, quickly deals with an issue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h--1\">\u200b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-going-on\">What\u2019s going on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is happening during this process and why is this method so fast and effective?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pull-vs-push\">PULL vs PUSH<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to unravel a twist we need rotation. Pulling on risers with twists in the lines does not create any rotation. At worst, if there is any existing offset in the risers then you are potentially pulling asymmetrically on the canopy and may worsen or induce a turn. Pushing the risers together at least takes the tension off the twists to minimize any such input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-twists-in-the-lines-vs-risers\">TWISTS IN THE LINES VS RISERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compare your system to being on a swing. You are a suspended heavy weight sitting on a wooden seat (harness) attached by chains (risers) to an A frame (canopy). Remember what is was like to twist the chains up by rotating under that swing&#8230; then lifting your legs up? As the chains are set apart from each other on the A frame there is enough torque (rotational force) for your body to rotate freely until all the twists in the chain unravel. That is the goal of moving the twists down from the lines into the risers \u2013 there will be enough torque for you to start the rotation of your body to unravel the twists from the risers. Very little torque exists when the twists are all the way up in the lines, which is why it can be time consuming to try to kick out from twists in the lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-recommendations\">OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/2014-12-30-loss-of-altitude\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Understanding the rate at which you lose altitude<\/a> with your system is a key factor to understanding whether you have enough altitude to try to resolve a nuisance factor such as line twists. For example if you know it takes your system 5 complete rotations from an aggressive toggle turn to lose 500 ft, then you have a good guesstimate of the amount of altitude you may lose with a tension knot, a toggle fire or indeed spinning from line twists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wearing a digital altimeter on the inside of your wrist<\/strong> will allow you to try to deal with nuisance factors AND see your altitude throughout the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\">SUMMARY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One last time: Altitude is king and respect your own safety standards. And if both those factors allow, do what you can to resolve line twists with an effective, well thought-out plan of action.
