It was held ln posltlon by a 2'r x l" plece of velcro hook that was se-dn to tbe BatD brtdle cord. lne raln Dilot chute was located on a nelly band.
tbcse ers Ey epeculatlonel Descrtptlon of Acoldent Psrt Vl I I Joan's problens starteC irlth an lnverteC naln pIlot chute ln tow. Thls was caused because sjhe peeIeC both the .;elcro plle fuzzbarr and the naln brldre cord (wrth verero hook) fron the belly band end squeezed tha fuzzball lnto tn€ hook on the brtdle. (Stre had several hundred Jumps on a i{cnderhog of thls saoe conflguratlon.) At an altltude beth.ean 25OO and JOOC feet, xhen she threw thc matn ptlot chute out, lt Cld not lnflrrtc Bo there was very rlttro road pracec on the noaln r:cntalaer eroslnq pIn. (ftte meln contalner remalned closed untlL lmpact.) .Ioan recognlzed the problen and pulled the rnaln 11.ser relesse hanCle and threw lt aray, and then pulled the reserve rlpcord handle. The reserve contalner opened lrnmedtately and the .reserve started to deploy. lbe reserve pllot chute tnflated and pulied the reserve canopy out of the reserve contalaer. All of the Ilnes deployed out of th€ res€rve pack tray. The resorve d1.aper, at lts proper tlne, dtd separate. At thls tirue, 1.cr arr ur]krtcun reason, the nornal openlng stopped.

Iherc w6re no maJor burn or scortch narks on the naln pllot chute o! Ealn brtCle. There were no el,gns of any entanglement of the naln and reserve assenblles. There was no evldence of reserve dlaper fallure or entanglerilent. Ttre dlaper was open and both rubber bands were tntact. Ihere was no damege to tne canopy ltseli or to the suspenslon Llnes. fhe four llne release lanyards were ctlll taoJc€d ln plaoe on the reserv€ rleers. lhere wag, and stlll ls, aothln{ wrong wlth the re6arve parechute esecobly but stllI, tt dld not op6n on thle partloulsr JuEp.
