Nevertheless, wouldn't using the same MR added rings for hooking up a tershiary canopy that you dbag/trashbag out of the plane and subsequently cutaway be a cleaner solution which will result in much lower rate of lost freebags ?

riggerrob 558 #8 May 5, 2012 I don't know of any chest-mounted reserve containers that are certified for square reserves. When Para-Flite invented the square reserve, they specifically discouraged people form packing them into chest containers. The big fear was that some-one would forget to attach one of the hooks and spin-in under a square reserve. If you want to get really obscure, you could pack a square reserve into a lap-type PEP. The key difference is that the risers on lap-type PEPs are sewn to the harness, making it impossible to forget to hook-up a riser. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And how many folks think that the guy on Page 48 of the May '12 issue of PARACHUTIST is using a chest- mounted round canopy? JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
