Dwain posted a quote from Mark Hewitt in his thread "Techical details....(long)", http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/board/4354.html , that said "Pilot chutes do malfunction". As I have never seen a pc hesitate or malfunction and I can not see a reason for a properly assembled, packed and thrown pc not to work, I would like to know how many of you have actually seen or experienced pc hesitations or malfunctions (also in skydiving). If you did, what were the circumstances / how was the configuration?
I usually pull low and a pc hesitation of more than 1 sec would definately ruin my day on most of my jumps, so this is kinda interesting to me.
