Repacking a reserve parachute for paragliding - BANDARRA

- Thanks to Bernard, Bill and John for all their help.
Me and Gemma went to the Derbyshire Soaring Club annual repack to inspect and repack our reserve parachutes.
This is something that should be done every year and freeflight clubs in the UK with help from the BHPA make it easier to teach and assist pilots in repacking their own reserve parachutes.
It was a great experience again this year and last minute I thought I'd film it. Sorry for the sound as there's a lot of reverb in a big sports all like that.

I like the last mouth lock to get full line stretch before the canopy starts to deploy. That is time honored.
WHAT A CHAMPION!! what a great video. I live in RSA and there are very few such resources available for us here. I went t check my reserve and found that the clamp was too tight.... it would have never opened!!!!!!
Andre , your vids are really great! As a beginner I used to watch your vids to understand some basics that i was never informed of. I have have passed on a few of your vids to my paragliding club here in South Africa ( especially your xc vids, with amazing responses). We really appreciate your videos. We have few such resources as what you give us. Thank you.
Cheers dude, really appreciate it. As long as I can I'll keep doing them :)
This was very helpful.
Please make a video about repacking Square Reserve or Cross Canopy. I know they are similar to the round, just the corner are different. But would be nice to have a detailed video repacking like this video.
You videos are amazing. Full of Information. Thanks. Please keep them coming.
Packing your own reserve. That's the real thing, friend.
Thank you Andre, excellent informative video, thanks for recording and sharing
Thanka for sharing. Our club does something very similar here in Vancouver, we deply our rezerves while hanging on a simulator after another pilot gives us a real hard spin to simulate a free fall after a massive wing collapse.
Good video and very helpful. Thank you. One comment based on other videos that I have watched is to make sure the ‘skirt’ is at the top of the deployment bag not the bottom, as seems to be shown here, for a faster deployment. I’m not clear which is correct but I’ve gone for the faster deployment approach.
Top notch camera work! Cheers dude
I watched Iron workers that hopped and popped on the weekends pack their own ramair shoots and reserve's. That was in 1982 .This was an interesting video Andre.
Appreciate this. Thank you!
Great video brother,learned alot!
Great video very informative thanks.
thanks a lot for sharing this very useful video
Thanks for this content!
I think the issue with webbing to webbing connections is massively overstated.
Preamble: I’m not a parachute packing expert and these are my thoughts. I would STRONGLY advise talking to a parachute packing expert!!
My thoughts …… Soft shackles are OK from my understanding but line to webbing and webbing to webbing is not a good idea. Especially line to webbing. From my climbing experience you can easily cut webbing with a line (I would assume it’s worse with a rapid energetic deployment of a parachute line = more heat (and thinner = concentrated heat/cheese wire!). Try a sawing action of a line and some webbing and you’ll see. The heat generated is enough to melt nylon. In climbing the golden rule is “No same hardness material shall touch”. Ie metal to metal, line to line, line to webbing, etc. Knot’s are the only exception but these have to be dressed and the deprecation of loading is understood.
Merci pour le partage de la vidéo...
muito bom, obrigado por compartilhar, forte abraco.
This is much more fun if you hang from the hoop, and get spun in a simulated event. (>* That's how my club does it anyway. :) Fun times!
Good video..
sempre um material de qualidade... parabéns andre
Andre,any good videos of repacking a square,i cant find any around?
Thanks brother!!
Sorry dude, never come across one but will film it if I ever come across one
@@AndreBandarra1 The Ozone manual for the Angel has the directions but Id love too see a video since they are 1000 words,thanks man!!
Merry Christmas!!
It's great video too much helpful
is it imperative to repack on a smooth floor or surface? if repacking at home, would packing on carpet create major issues? I guess smooth floors are preferred to reduce friction on the silky chute material?
I’m not sure to be honest, but think it should work too as long as it’s clean
Interested
Thanks Andre, another good one!
In terms of throwing: We learned to throw it full pelt in one motion into the horizon... So grab handle and just rip&throw in one motion as hard as you can... After that you can try and accelerate the deployment even further, by pulling on the connection-bridle! (You can see it at about the 30 second mark in this video:)

yeah I think it depends on the harness too. if the pins pop off in the same direction as the bag comes out you can and should do that. in our case, you pull the handle up to pop the pins but if you keep pulling up the bag wont come out. also you don't want to throw it up, usually back or side. but yeah, good video and demonstration :) Thanks for sharing
please don't teach a 3-step throw. You do it in one move as powerful as you can. Doing it in steps causes time passing between...and there can happen alot in milliseconds. Starting with building up GForce or the ground coming closer. ;)
This is a historic video now and reflects the state of the art at the time. When this was recorded both of Matt Wilkes’ reserve studies hadn’t come out yet
@@AndreBandarra1 maybe it should be marked as such or deleted? just my humble opinion ;)
@@ScoringStageEu nah, no need to delete historic stuff :)
This guy doesn’t seem very sure of what he’s doing. I see lots of hesitation and confusion.
He's actually a really experienced pilot, and a certified re-packer...he's just a bit shy and quietly spoken :-)
