Most jumpers as they get more experience decide to hang on to the handles, because of the cost and because the idea of a long metal cable possibly entangling with a deploying reserve is not comforting. Students are often taught procedures (tossing the handles) that simplify their later tasks (not messing with handles when you have to control the reserve) and hopefully to ensure a handle is pulled completely (although 'dropping' it isn't very effective at that).People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
