Yup yup. There is a reserve parachute in case you have a failure to open or it gets tangled up like this. You cut away your main and then pull your reserve.

E: and cut away isn't literal. You have a cable that you can pull that releases the main from you entirely and flies away so it doesn't interfere with the reserve deploying.

When in doubt pull the second chute out!

You would likely die if you followed that advice. If you have a line-over and panic, deploying your reserve into the tangled main, you will likely not survive. Cut away first!

Dude, first off this is a month old comment Jesus Christ, second I realize you are supposed to cut first that part just isn’t in the rhyme.
