AFF Student pulls the Jumpmaster cutaway handle - EPIC!

The student accidentally pulled the cutaway handle of his instructor, right after exit the plane.

This cutaway handle is used in the event you have a malfunction with your main canopy (if it rips, gets entangled, etc).

It caused the cutaway on the main at the moment the instructor deploys it, leaving him only with his reserve, don't give him not a chance to fly his the main canopy.

It all happened with no intention of the student. He told us after landing, he wants to grab something to keep his balance (it was his first jump) so, he was kinda nervous and act this way on the exit.

Ironically, he fucked up with his instructor... he was so sad when he realized what was done, that he doesn't come back to his second jump ever.

I happened in 2014, and NO, it was not fake... absolutely.
