Bad Luck Bear. I watched an Army type pop a streamer and deploy reserve without cutting away when I was a kid playing at Lakehurst, NJ. Saw the bounce. That did not stop me from jumping as an adult though. Waiting in line to board for my second jump, saw a guy have to cut away and deploy his reserve. Worked fine. No bounce. It usually just requires a cool head and a little luck. That MSGT apparently had used all his luck chips. Good thing he had a cool head.
LOL.
Not giving up has a lot to do with it.
