What is a potential consequence of entering a toggle turn too quickly?

Entering a toggle turn too quickly can lead to line twists, which is a significant issue during canopy flight. When a skydiver initiates a turn abruptly, especially if they have not properly managed their speed and orientation, it can create unequal forces on the lines of the parachute. This can cause the lines, particularly the steering lines, to become twisted around the risers or the body of the canopy, resulting in line twists.

Line twists can be particularly dangerous because they can hinder the pilot's ability to control the parachute effectively, potentially leading to further complications during the descent. It’s essential for skydivers to practice smooth and controlled toggle turns to prevent such situations. In contrast, while the other potential consequences such as hard landing, spinning, and altitude loss are relevant concerns in skydiving, they are not as directly linked to the immediate action of entering a toggle turn too quickly as line twists are.
