Which reserve had damage on slider stops?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone remember an incident a few years ago where a reserve with thin flares with slider stops at the bottom was damaged, lines ripped and part of the canopy tore on opening?
I am looking at a reserve right now that has these type of flares but cannot find what reserve it was that had this incident.

Flight Concepts reserve, packed by/for Silver Wings freefall demo team at Fort Benning, Georgia. MEL (posts here with same name) participated in the investigation. You could PM him for details, but the bottom line is to RTM to ensure you use exactly the manufacturer's packing method.

Odd that this doesn't show up in dz.com search. I thought I read about it here.

There's a hole in the search index for most of the first half of 2006. There's a thread in Bugs & Error Reports about it. If it bothers you, add your voice to those asking for the issue to be rectified.
