While practicing a stunt in the sky during a paragliding training course, Mark Huneycutt's lines suddenly become twisted — forcing him to throw his reserve parachute. Thankfully, all of this is happening during the training course, so Mark is well-equipped with multiple reserve parachutes, a nearby safety boat and an instructor to help guide him through the incident via radio. Mark manages to stay calm, cool and collected the whole way down, proving that practice really does make perfect!
