Non Injury Reserve Deployment PG - The B -

A pilot launched the B on a strong and cross afternoon, made a transition away from the launch toward the POM and suffered an asymmetric with an ensuing spiral type turn. Realizing his height, the pilot deployed his reserve and had a 6-7 second reserve ride before landing on the side of the hill. He gathered up his equipment to demonstrate that he was uninjured and made a post to Facebook to that point. We should all be ready to throw our reserves especially in strong conditions. This pilot handled this situation quite well.
