Speaking of bloopers, I can remember a guy in one of our loads who needed to re-qualify by doing a static line drop and do a dummy ripcord pull...he exited the A/C, then pulled not the dummy ripcord, but his reserve, now he had two chutes fighting one another and *almost* tangled into a roman candle before he wised up and cut away his main canopy. For all of us witnessing this, it was a scary moment...he was so close to a bad day...same day another newbie found the only tree within 3 miles of the drop zone, took a fire truck with a big extension ladder to get him down.
