[rec.skydiving] hook knives

I'm sure this has been discussed before but I'll ask anyway.
Has anyone you know been saved by using their hook knife?
I figure it is something that you'll probably never need but will
be very happy to have it if you do.  What were the circumstances?
I would think that people who do canopy relative work would be more
likely to need it, but I can imagine other situations were it might
save your life.  Anybody out there with a story to tell.
