the chute opened, lines were twisted
grabbed the risers and kicked my legs to spin around and untwist the lines, just like the said to do in class. seemed to take forever
then the last two cells on both ends of the chute were collapsed. Grabbed the toggles, went to full flare to inflate them, just like the said to do in class
landed on my ass in the mud. chute dragged me thru the mud about 15 feet before I could collapse it by by pulling one of the toggles all the way, just like they said to do in class.
unhooked my harness, stepped out of the jump suit, left it all laying in the mud. Walked right to my car and left. Didnt care to speak to anybody or get my free t-shirt. Yeah its pretty scary your first time, even scarier when there are a few minor problems.
pay attention in class, or you could have a very bad day
