Italy...
You can jump here, but you need a valid third party insurance, check,

The photo posted by markymarc explain very well how it works. All french RSL (LOR2) I saw (student and expert) has 2 pin. They are very common in Europe

convert to RWS skyhook, much better!!!

Very simple, both risers MUST leave before reserve container is open. To deactivate RSL you need to open the snap on one riser, if you cutaway, one closing pin go away (the fixed one), the other (with the snap open) stay in place, keeping the reserve container closed.
hope my poor english is understandable.

When i started jumping only rounds and PC where available. I jumped 200 times on rounds.
Now, in my country (Italy), only square canopy are allowed for main. So you can't drive an old fashion car!!

you often find technical discussions on the forum, they are very useful. But remember, you MUST follow only your instructor during the fjc.

My whole thought process went, "pull right, flip over, get stable, pull left." .

This habit could kill You, in case of low cutaway.
Low cutaway happen!!
Bruno

No rules in Italy
You clear the student status after 30 Jump (7 AFF included). Than You are a licensed skydiver, like a 8000 jumps person. You can use every kind of canopy You want at every WL You want. (Yes, a lot of work for hospitals near the DZs)
Bruno

do a search on DZcom, lot of pro/cons
I prefer BOC
Bruno

Same in Italy
We teach our student to use their alti to check their visual altitude judgment. In case of doubt about the altimeter they are taught to pull immediately
Bruno

simply adopt the TSO/JTSO
At your DZ let jump ONLY TSOed/JTSOed rig/reserve
Bruno

Do someone remember the soft housing and reverse risers problem on teardrop?
I was thinking to buy one in the past, but I immediately switched to other rig after that
Bruno

Bill
can a Vector 2 modified to accept the skyhook?
Bruno

In Italy, according to civil aviation authority, a rig must have a jtso OR tso to be legal
Bruno

I did a couple of time with my sabre 150.
Normal WL 1:1.45 plus 65 Kg girl
hop-and-pop from 2000 mt

Questo topic è una vera Babilonia

Mr. Billy jump???
Cameraman, under canopy, hold the PC like a IAD??
Bruno

generally speaking.
from the ground you don't know how the situation is. If the person has lines wrapped with his leg, is better, at altidude, to try to clear before to cut. if you immediately order a cutaway, things can became worse.
Of course when you see a student doing nothing and going too low you must order something.
