What ever you do, don't attach it to yourself in any way. Holding it in freefall is the easy part. Come up with a good plan on how to deal with it at opening. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I can live with that, I just don't see the reason when a metal handle is readily available. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

You think wrong. Be careful what you wish for. While the FAA can be a pain in the butt at times the regulations you mention are what allow you to do what you love. Without them you can bet some local politician would make it illegal. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Well, it's not just to "look cool", I really wanted soft pillows because I'm a small jumper and the damn metal handle was constantly pushing in my rib cage when sitting in the plane, moving around, bending, etc. Not to mention that the rigid handle can "pop out" of the harness more easily, or make the harness "rigid" in a weird and uncofortable way, I don't know how to explain that better, but I came to hate it on my old vector, whereas the soft handle bends inside the harness, hence for small harnesses it simply fits better, stays there better and it's more comfortable, IMHO. Also, less snag hazards during RW exits. Honestly, I think the 2 soft pillows to be a better setup for generic skydives (once exception would be crw, I think). 100% agree on taking the 5 minutes of extra time to understand how this slightly changes your EPs, though, no excuses for that. The hard handles are only a problem if you let them be. Your reasons for not liking the hard handles may be valid for you but not for the vast majority of jumpers. Soft handles make it harder to grasp and hold onto while pulling. Jumpers with small hands and/or less hand strength have trouble maintaining their grip. They also have a history of tucking under the main lift web. Being made of fabric they are harder to identify by feel when covered by jumpsuit material or heaven forbid canopy material. I have always preferred metal handles on both sides. jmo http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp55/mjosparky/Equipment/Handles1.jpg Edit to add, RSLs save lives.

And "we" is defined as...? US only, North America, USPA? We've definitely had several fatal crashes in Europe, in fact one particularly bad one right after I started in the sport (Piper Navajo in Poland). Somewhere on the web is a list of all the plane crashes in the world going back several years. When my computer took a dump I lost it. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
