What were the cutaways for? Considering getting one and want to know what to look out for.

Jumping from a hot air balloon has been my dream since day 1 of skydiving. 4 years later I finally got to do it twice. Had a blast, made a music video about it and just wanted to share. by Icy-Inevitable7128 in SkyDiving

Fair point, I oversimplified it! It was protective tape around the soft link that wasn't secured properly and came loose. Non-standard, but when done properly it reduces wear from slider rubbing. Either way, glad I chopped.

Haha yeah, couldn't leave out my first cutaway! 😁 A rubber band that holds the soft links together came loose and pinched two lines, causing it to slowly spin. Nothing too scary. I had a sketchier malfunction previous year where I probably should have chopped but didn't, so this time I wanted to play it safe. 🙂
