Mmm..Now THAT Will Sell It!

Ok... interesting advertising choice... no complaints here...
But I do have an actual question. This is a BASE rig... why is there a 3-ring system on it? The 3-rings are there to facilitate chopping a bad main, and I assume when BASE jumping, what with the whole "no reserve" thing, cutting away is just generally a bad idea... right?

They had a similar ad in Skydiving last month. You know what that means. We will all be treated to a few months worth of my-12-year-old-son-reads-this-magazine letters to the editor. I love that rag. They never dodge controversy.
Hey, at least she's not sitting in a bathtub full of hot dogs!!
Homer: Oh, yeah, what are they gonna do? Release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark, they shoot bees at you?

Probably for when they land in a tree so they can get out of it.
And, oh yeah...naked chicks are cool!

Not necessarily. There is a cutaway-able BASE rig made by Vertigo called the Sorcerer. On the page is a link to a movie of a BASE cutaway with the system.
*Poof*.... instant canopy.

There is a guy that chopped at Bridge Day the past couple years with a Sorcerer.. It's a pretty cool system.. The reserve is static lined by the main(not an RSL, the main risers are actually attached to the reserve freebag)..
