Dan Abbott was the designer of the first Security Piggyback. The first rough drawings consisted of a side by side design, a top reserve design & a bottom reserve design. This took place onboard a commercial airline when Dan was returning to San Leandro, CA from his visit with the Army Parachute Team training in AZ, Dec 1963. He also designed the Crossbow Canopy and the complete Piggyback System with the 26' lopo reserve was called Crossbow. Pioneer's piggyback system came about a year later. Dan Abbott was honored by PIA for his design of the first piggyback system at the first Symposium in Orlando FL
