Do MARD Components require TSO Certification?
Iswoopyou replied to JohnSherman's topic in Gear and Rigging
First off, I say things the way that I see it and NOT at all trying to stir this cauldron, BUT It seems as though you began this thread to not necessarily see others opinion's, but to persuade others from choosing a MARD system/device. Obviously you're against it since you and your company do not offer one ,which perhaps may be slowing sales down, and your frustration is understandable. BUT... With so many MARD's out and about with millions of jumps and yet none having caused any fatalities or hindering any deployments, why make such a big fuss/deal about approval unless your primary goal is to stop others from considering rigs just because of the MARD(their choice good or bad) and therefore consider your containers? If a company offers a product that they believe in and have thoroughly tested for many jumps...... and for some reason it fails then that's their reputation that they are willing to risk and potentially ruin so why bother? Unless your intentions are purely for debate/investigative/informational reasons i apologize, but I do not see it that way. fyi: I jumped a Racer for 1,000 jumps which served me well and great value IMO, but just switched for something different. Perhaps all that is needed to boost some sales is some good marketing/advertisement or a much needed updated website? -
I REALLY hope you don't have 550 jumps and jump a 96 Velo at 2.1
