Worse that I had was a twisted line that I was able to kick out. I also had a spotter on the ground telling me what to do. Newbies had to pull at 5,500 ft. to give us time to get out of any predicaments. We also had shoulder loads that were supposed to deploy the emergency chute if we were descending at a fast rate and below 1,000 feet.
Never wanted to try that out to see if it worked.

At a club jump, a Captain went out at 10k and decided to test an auto-release...he is way low and someone shouts PULL!
IIRC we were to pull about 2k?
His wife standing next to me is making noises, others are shouting...
Crazy low he pops.
The auto-release was triggered but never deployed!
