—”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!
The Club I trained at would ban you if you had a habit of low pulls. Don’t recall what their ceiling was but if they felt you were pulling too low, you were banned.
I quit about a 1/2 dozen jumps from getting certified. When you did, they’d let you jump out of a helicopter or hot air balloon. I was told that doing so was the closest you would experience the feeling of falling and flailing like you dream about.
