Just bought a new/used rig, without a ADD. I'm new, with about 100 jumps, and picked up the rig for a fair price. My main rig has an ADD, this would be a back-up. Question: Is buying a ADD the norm, or just nice to have? I have several friends in the sport, but all have less than 300 jumps. Besides, depending on the day, and their mood, their answers change... I've jumped with some groups that refuse to allow ADD's while doing RW. I've been told that false openings are typically found on old systems, and are extremely rare on the newer versions. I personally haven't had an incident, or close call. The reasons to have one are pretty simple, but why would anyone NOT choose to have one?
