I always jump hooked in. I find that if all goes well during my jump, I tend
to stay hooked in. When I've had to bail, from a tucked position, unhooking
usually just happens. If you are learning jumping, be aware of others around
you when dumping your rig in air. It's also tends to be very hard on your
equipment when you toss it in air. Start small, concentrating on control.
Working with small chop is a good starting point, you can get some nice air
off of small stuff, and it's good practice.

Stephane, how did a flat landing result in a broken arm? That sounds like
a nasty crash.
