Benson,

I took an SIV course and I don't know if it would have done me any good in a situation like yours (as far as correcting the situation). It sure doesn't sound like any parachutal stall behavior that was ever described to me.

Where it would have helped is in encouraging me to toss the reserve as soon as I saw a situation that I didn't know how to get out of, didn't seem to be improving on its own, and most importantly, was occurring at fairly low altitude.

I'm glad you came out of it okay. Love that chaparral!
