The twist was out by about 7000 feet. I continue to recommend pushing the risers together in a linetwist. Pulling the risers apart will hold the slider up, bowing the canopy, increasing the chances of a spin, or continuing the spin if it has already begun. This appears to be true regardless of wingloading.
What I found interesting about this video besides Brian's ability to overcome the malfunction is look how calm and relaxed he is when he gets on the ground.
I fraught a malfunction way too low once in my career (~125 jumps). Wound up with a lot of guilt and regret. Not to mention self doubt for years after.. I've done a few jumps since that, i'm good now. but the basics apply: pull! pull at the right altitude! pull in a stable configuration! check your priorities before each jump! every jump counts! be focused!
I had massive line twists after deploying on a wingsuit jump. Couldn’t even look up there were so many. Kicked them out and it spun up 4 times the opposite direction. Lucky it was flying straight on a docile canopy. Landed miles off, but better a long walk than a short ride to hospital 😁
Had a line twist on 4th jump of PAC cours, but till that jump made a couple of good habbits znd one was to look up after 2-3 sec of release. Seeing the parachute trying to open adds more adrenaline and scares the shit out of you. Will it open 🤔👻 and that helps identify malfunctions fast. That help me see the line twist 1...2...3... the my body automatically started to act accordingly to training, dont even remember to actually panic, to busy to fix. I did panic a bit afterwards it got fixed😂 that was a line twist😭 Developed bad habits aswell, asymmetry and fixations at landing, so far failed 5/5 of my landings 🤪
What I found interesting about this video is that the excess brake line is not stowed in either jump. I knew more than one person who is dead now from not stowing the excess and then had an entanglement that led to panic, poor decision making and the end of their life.
One part of the procedure I'm still unclear about...Is it better to spread the risers and kick or close them tight to get the twists out? Or is every situation different? I jump a low wing loading so getting out of twists isn't so hard to do but I'm wondering if that changes a lot once you're at a high wing loading and experiencing G forces?

just bought your book Brian, Very inspiring!

My 5 and 7 year olds loved the song Brian.
Hahaha
I had the exact same malfunction, but at 2,000 feet. Fun times!!!
Great buddy
Thank you very much Brain Germain!)))
any chance you have more video of spinning / line twists videos? Love it thanks

How much height did you lose up until you got the twists out?
Brian, we’re you sure that you could fix the line twist or because of the altitude, you’d give it a shot.
The second one. Had rhe time, might as well see what can be done.

Curious, how high were you when you had it all sorted out? Also, are you using a Sabre 2 135 for wing suiting?

Excellent :-)
Yup. It is called "Parachute Malfunction Recovery"
1:11 WHAT!?
1:14 oh... I see.
:D
Maybe get a music consultant
