councilman24 36 #7 April 17, 2008 Sure, The packing data card and the TSO label on the reserve. It would all depend on what was in it.

skydived19006 4 #13 April 17, 2008 I have around 1600 tandems spread over 9 years, and unfornatially (for the purpous of this conversation) have yet to need to deploy a reserve. I have asked around in these forums, and talked with someone, can't remember the name, who said that he'd been involved in testing a few of the tandem reserves. His opineon was that the Precision TR375 was one of the best, and his favoriate. Now, I've seen one deploied (from video guy position) after cutting away a line over. I guess it's obviousl that this was a slow deployment going from little/no speed. They were loaded in the in the low 400 lb range. The flair was "mushy", toggle preassure was obviously heavy as compared to an Icarus 330/365, but not at all unmanagable by one person.
