You might be a newbie if: you don't know why some people in some circumstances might choose to hook their RSL shackle to a hard housing.

You speak about it as if you honestly think people are doing it out of ignorance, as if they've miss rigged it in error rather than through an informed, (albeit possibly misguided), choice. Really? You guys really don't know why that's sometimes done?

I'm calling noobie in you guys. :P

You have a rig with an RSL but you wish to disconnect it - say camera jump, skysurf or demoing a canopy on risers without an RSL ring or, whatever.

Where are you going to put the RSL snap shackle - just leave it dangling? Tuck it somewhere to come loose again?

Or you could snap it to the cutaway hard housing so it won't go anywhere, minimising the risk that it will snag on something and cause a premature reserve deployment.

Thanks for the shows and congrats on Rocket! :)
