Once had a Jumper's Reserve release just as he was climbing out on to the Wheel and Strut of the Cessna 182.....he had a horrible body position but crikey he left quick! No harm done to anyone.....but it was for sure a "Now you see him.....now you don't ...kind of thing!"!

Happily nothing got hung up or anything fouled by the Chute....probably missed the Elevator by at least six inches.....otherwise it could have very interesting indeed.

I was wearing a back pack emergency rig so I would have had a way out.....except the thought of jumping a single chute doesn't warm my Heart at all.
