Reserve Static Line. He was hanging with face at strut level, so I think it
would have been *possible* for the automatically deploying main to get into
the prop blast and wrapped around something. All this is speculation,  and I
may be completely wrong.

Also, I'd like to mention that I retain copyright on the words posted in my
previous message. This notice isn't necessary, as I would retain that right
anyways. I add this because I have heard that these posts sometimes get used
in periodicals without the author's consent. No flames please!
Accident reports are valuable so we can all learn ways of being safer!
