So I was recently going through some pics and came across this one again...also added it to my profile a while ago.

Does this not look a little strange. Had an awesome jump and the opening was on heading so no real reason other than curiosity to post this...

Thanks.

Can you please provide larger than ( 448 x 299 ) & grand total of 18 pixels of Canopy picture for visual reference ?
.

if your looking at frame by frame deployments, almost always going to find at least one frame that looks weird...if not totally F*c*ed

Oops...not really great at compressing pics, don't have a lot of practice. Maybe one of these will be a little easier to see.

180 with tail inversion. looks like it.

On heading??????

On heading was exactly what I meant to say...wierd for sure! This is why I was curious cause to me it looks like a perfect 180° back towards the wall.

Could post video from above but it is gopro footage and with the distance not sure how much one can really make out.

It looks like your canopy came out in a vertical wind tunnel - all sorts of shit going on until full inflationl

Shit happens. The attached pic is similar. I was trying out a different packjob, and it was an on-heading opening as well.

The attached pic looks like a tail first expansion. I had those a few times and I believe in my case they were caused by a premature tailgate release.

Makes sense, that's what we figured too. The rubber band on the tailgate was pretty stretched out and possibly let go too soon...
