Yes its right i don't have the experience to jump such a rig and probably never will have. And yes the idear is to cut the $2000 main away. Wouldn't be practicable for every jump, but maybe for some special ones.

Tickets get more and more expensive, so one could have twice the fun while only paying for one jump :-). The second cypres is there to cut the small main away if it spins until the jumper passes out.

What about a 3 Canopy rig for fun jumpers how have enough money and want to fly sub 100 sqft canopies but don't want to land them. It would have an usual (aprox 190) reserve and main container and an small 3 rd small container under the main. So you would deploy the small canopy with a throw out, ride it for a while then cut it away ( usual 3ring risers), an after that you go for your pullout /spring loaded main chute. The small chute will be cut away by a special or student cypres for the case that the jumper passes out during canopy ride. and after that an usual cypres will deploy the reserve. well very complicated rig, but it would rock to sell one ;-) Expensive container, 3 canopies, 2 cypreses :-) and maybe some rich fun jumper would buy it :-) Was anything like that ever planed? (I'm not thinking of the intentional cuta way rigs)

How would it be to use a cypres with 3 cutters 1 for the reserve as usual, and the other 2 for the loops of the 3ring? at best in combination with an skyhook, if you pull your main low and your cypres decides to fire your hanging only on your reserve , no risk of downplane or res. /main entanglement. Ok really low misfires would suck a bit .

Some time ago I read somewhere that dying Dyneema is nearly impossible. But now I found that: http://www.der-boehner.de/%5CG%5CDC.htm?gruppe=DC000 are they selling some crap or is there some new possibility to dye Dyneema ?

No/Yes : At first I thought at some very small magnets sewed in close to the stops and close to the grommets. I chose "Magnetic slider stops// Hand tack slider to canopy" as the topic because my english isn't very good and I hoped that most people will get what I mean (what they did) with this topic. But I did not knew that slider grommets are usually not magnetic. Hm... maybe the stops of some canopy(s?) are magnetic, I know of one manufacturer which uses some sort of metal "coins" as stops.

hmmm.... :-) thats true... maybe some pieces of the good old Velcro are better for this application. Or these "plastic clips" which were mentioned earlier in this thread, does anybody have some pictures of them ?

---noob without sky dives, but some interest in gear--- From my (very limited) knowledge many of the hard openings are caused by the slider not being perfectly at the slider stops, when the canopy leaves the bag. I know that the slider is not pushed down by a lot of force during the opening, but i believe/think/assume ;-) that it should be enough if some weak cotton thread/ small magnets are used ( maybe only at the two front slider stops) what do you think, has anybody tested it, why is it not done, could it help prevent some of the hard openings?

maybe the loops will last a bit longer... thanks very much for the interviews!!!!!
