don't forget that you are in it and your center of mass is close to your belly button

Yeah that sure was a sure was nasty moment. I got to see the whole right side of the liner from the left side of the course before it disappeared into a white cloud & when the cloud settled I was not expecting to see it in one piece. I went over to see him also & he looked at me & said "you were right!". I had previously shown them a better way to pack the chutes to reduce line burn & had given my opinion on the attachment location.

He ended up stopped about 30 yards from us.
