What is the best action to take when experiencing a biplane two-canopy-out scenario?

In a biplane two-canopy-out scenario, where one jumper has two canopies deployed, it is critical to manage the situation effectively to avoid complications. Releasing the brakes on the front canopy only stabilizes the front canopy while allowing the back canopy to continue flying in a way that may help control and manage the situation.

The front canopy generally has better performance and the ability to provide better control and steering. By releasing the brakes on just the front canopy, the jumper can allow that canopy to gain more speed and possibly regain a more stable flight path.

In this situation, cutting away both canopies immediately can lead to uncontrolled descent as the jumper may not have a stable deployment. Meanwhile, releasing the brakes on both canopies could lead to a lack of control and increase the chances of entanglement or loss of parachute control.

This approach emphasizes safety and control, essential factors in skydiving, especially in complex situations.
