  1. Don't put your head where it is not welcome . the unwary got whipped (usually only once) when we used rip cords. Now you can have even more fun with bridles and PCs and your ego .The only footage that jm was getting was the other jm..........
  2. Not disputing anyone's knowledge or method . my thoughts..2nd set of eyes (experienced) ........inflate it on the ground after you believe you have correctly connected the parachute .......work back through your process with the 2nd set of eyes
