This page is a chapter in the book Malfunctions and Problems.

Line Over: A line over occurs when a break line connected to the tail of a canopy, gets routed over the top of the canopy. This impedes the flight characteristics of the canopy, and also does not allow for steering of the canopy.

I would really like to have more content for line-overs, and for now, here is a video for a line-over from HELL:

I had also a line over...Unfortunately, I was not so lucky to clear it..and had to land the spinning canopy...
The best is to have ALWAYS WLO toggles.
But, no danger...no fun!!
