Do a search in Safety and Training or in the video forum and you will get plenty of ideas. I think we covered this about a year ago.

HERE is the thread in S&T.

Handcams have been covered in depth on the "Photography and Video" forum.

Sorry, but I have never seen the Aussie version.
I just sewed up 30 of the nylon Canadian version.

Never heard of any safety issues, much less entanglements.

As both Rob and Beezy Shaw jump them ALL the time, I believe them to be the best sources of information on the subject. It helps that they have both been jumping over 20 years and work/worked in the industry. They both love the system and I have seen video from both of them. If I had a camera smaller than our PC-120 I would be jumping one as well.
