Unique Skydive - Parachute Malfunction - Tension Knots and Spin

Direct - 0:46

A usual skydive, flocking with friends with a surprise - a parachute malfunction due to suspected tension knots on the right rear side. Notice the turn is to the right but right side high (meaning the rear of the wing is slipping backwards due to a hangup). The resulting cutaway is fine, and I chase my main canopy, however the landing in the field was painful and I was unable to run it out. Ultimately I was okay and found all my gear.

Unfortunately, I had a cutaway on the previous jump, so this was the first time I've had a back-to-back cutaway. Lucky me?
