How Tight is TOO Tight?

Recommended Posts

I'm going to ask my rigger, but I thought I would ask here as well.

I just got my new JVX 84 Hybrid (Top Skin Sail)in the mail today and as you probably know it packs very big!

After a few attemps I managed to get it in the D-bag and closed it up, BUT it is Tight, Very Tight. It took alot of mussle to close, but I havn't yet lengthened my closing loop.

When I tested pull force to open it the pin poped easy enough but the whole rig lifted off the ground before the bag came out. I had to shake the suspended bridal to get it to finaly fall out.

Besides a PC in tow, what other mals can occur because of too tight a fit?

Thanks for your help!

Here is a very obvious scenario if the main is packed so tight it won't come out of the main pack tray. This is not far fetched and has happened numerous times.

PC in tow followed by having to eventually dump the reserve.

The moment the reserve pin is pulled, the pressure comes off the main/reserve divider wall and the main deploys.

What happens next is questionable.
My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
