hi all.. i'm to the forums here.. I've been jumping a tri-190 for a few years now and i've had a few really hard ones.. usually not due to packing as much as line stowing.. initially I had tube stoes (bought the rig used and thats what it had).. every 10-15 jumps it would open pretty hard. I sort of accepted it as normal until one day it opened so hard it ripped the end-cells and I got a big bruise on the back of my head from where it hit the top of the container, along with giant purple swathes in the usual areas. Aerodyne set me straight with some rubber bands.. now the only time I get hard ones is when I have either got old rubber bands that are loose on the last few stowes, or open when moving too fast (or still moving forward)..
