    there is a reason for that, it means they haven't able to get to the brake lines or you need to inflate a deflated cell in the canopy so you yank on the cords/harness as hard as you can to act in a similar fashion.

    think of it as your brakes have failed so you yank on the handbrake to slow you down.

    I still REALLY want to do a skydive! if I die then what a way to go - screaming for your life, sheer panic and fear, totally helpless and then exploding as you hit the floor :thumbup:
