Hello & D-Bag queries from a newcomer to the forum

Hi Everybody,

I guess I am the last arrived in this forum, which look really interesting and cool. I am not an Acro pilot, although I really enjoying seeing you boys, but I am really your 'average paraglider pilot' . I live in a pretty flat place (only a small ridge available with Northerly wind) and while my paramotor friends fly all the weekends I am pretty much earthbound most of the time for my refusal to go 'noisy'.

Reserve toss in twisted heli or tailslide-quickouts?

Wondering if I can get a few thoughts from the more experienced acro peeps. My buddy got hurt the other day when both of his reserves ended up going into his wing. He was twisted up and the glider was either in heli or tailslide. He wasn't falling fast enough for the reserve to deploy and I think it just wrapped around the lines. He ended up hitting the ground and got very lucky with a broken foot.
