ZigZagMarquis 9 #2 February 18, 2006 Well, its pretty straight forward. As I'm sure you know, its like an RSL, but it pulls the cut-away cable to the "other" riser if the riser to which the collin's lanyard is attached breaks. Its usually used in conjuntion with an RSL because one of the big arguements against an RSL is that if the riser it is attached to breaks it can fire your reserve while the other riser stays hooked up. Bill Booth's SkyHook incorporates a Collin's Lanyard as do some Tandem systems. So I'd imagine that you could gleen some intel there on how one should be made. Going out and just buying one... I'm not sure where to do that. Anyway, the first question and comment that came to my mind when I read your post was, "Why do you want one and what are you going to put it on?", and, "If you're going to put it on a rig that you're going to jump, it will have to be an approved alteration (mod) by the manufacturer and performed by the manuracturer or appropriately rated parachute rigger."
