cut away 

1. cutting your main canopy away and releasing your reserve canopy when skydiving

2. quitting your job, ditching your home or apartment, and moving to join a small, specific group of people in order to live and/or work in the sport of skydiving

1. I had spinning line twists and could not kick out of them so I cut away my main.

2. I cut away from my life to live on the drop zone.
