Myself, Brandon, Carrie and another guy who’s name I can’t remember went to do a four way star today. When we left the plan we were a bit unstable, it wasn’t too bad and it felt like we were going to correct it. I was trying to help by pushing Carrie away from me so she could get more belly down but she ended up whipping in the opposite direction. Because I was holding her grippers extra tight trying to push her away, when she twisted it dislocated my right shoulder instantly.
At this point I was pretty much in a lot of pain. I tried to pull my main but I couldn’t get my arm to grab the hacky so I pulled my reserve around 7k-6k feet. Under canopy now, I really had to push away the pain so I could steer towards the landing zone.
