The process of reserve canopy opening while the main one is still working. This time it happens ok. 1. At about 100 m. reserve canopy suddenly unpacks and opens 2. Skydiver decides not to cutaway the main canopy, because of too low altitude. Reserve canopy goes forward and strikes the main canopy. 3. Skydiver fights for main canopy. Main and reserve canopies take position biplane (one of two possible positions when both canopies can work)
