What should a jumper do if they experience line twist during a maneuver?

When a skydiver experiences line twist during a maneuver, the most appropriate action is to attempt to recover from the twist. Line twists occur when the lines connected to the parachute become intertwined, often resulting in a rotational effect that can affect the parachute's stability and trajectory.

Recovering from line twists typically involves a few key actions, such as reaching up to grab the risers, turning the head and shoulders to the side of the twist, and applying pressure on the appropriate toggle to help create some stability. By doing so, the jumper can often unwind the lines and regain control of the parachute.

Choosing to pull the reserve immediately may not be necessary if the jumper can regain control of the canopy, as pulling the reserve should generally be a last resort. Similarly, actions like performing a barrel roll or undoing the toggle could exacerbate the situation, potentially leading to more severe instability or complications. Therefore, attempting to recover from the twist is the best first step in managing line twists while maintaining control of the parachute.
