You just push each other away and turn off. (that’s his idiot move #1) When you MUST release your main, you do so by releasing BOTH of your capewells, not just one, as this guy does. Now, shifting the suspended load to one capewell can make this easier said than done, so we can cut him some slack here. However, once he pulls his reserve handle, getting it deployed becomes job one. He would have been trained to reach into the reserve tray in front of him, grab the material, and throw it into the direction of the spin if it didn’t deploy on it’s own. Landing under two messes is better than landing under one mess (now that he’s messed it up!) Reverting back to fighting with his unreleased capewell damn near cost him his life here, and is idiot move #2. He’s an idiot for failing his training repeatedly, and for putting his life in danger needlessly! Surviving this doesn’t make him an idiot, it just makes him a survivor.
