Unique Skydive - Parachute Malfunction - Line Twists on Big Way

Direct - 1:12

A follow-up skydive the same day we set the 2021 VSWR. We were attempting a 77 person 3 point skydive, using 4 aircraft for lift power. After an unsuccessful attempt and non-eventful skydive and break-off in the first of three breakoff waves, my parachute opened in diving line twists.

Due to the two break-off waves of people below me, I don't have the luxury or time to see if I could have fixed this malfunction. I needed to get a stable canopy over my head.

After chasing my main and watching my free bag, I safely landed in a field only about 40ft from where my main ends up landing about a minute later. My free bag landed in a small sliver of open area in a cornfield and was found about an hour and a half later via drone and then recovered.
