About this work
The process of reserve canopy opening while the main one is still working. This time it happens ok.
- At about 100 m. reserve canopy suddenly unpacks and opens
- Skydiver decides not to cutaway the main canopy, because of too low altitude. Reserve canopy goes forward and strikes the main canopy.
- Skydiver fights for main canopy. Main and reserve canopies take position biplane (one of two possible positions when both canopies can work)
