don't know what type of parachute she was using. i did just one solo para drop but within a 5 hour course was taught how to control the parachute which was similar to what is used by hang gliders.

On my 52nd jump I had a "may west". This was back before the days of the parafoil and chutes were round. I had just had my reserve repacked the previous week so "choose" to not cut away and "ride er down". At altitude it did not seem like I was falling much faster tha a normally deployed paracommander.
All I have to say about this is, bad decision.
@moosepucky ,
so it was a parafoil i did my solo with. very manouvarable . i landed right on an X after doing several turns. was directed by radio from the ground.
