hackish 8 #26 December 5, 2009 The magnets take less force to release than most of the tuck tabs which was one of the reasons Booth designed them. This should not have an impact on the reserve opening because they're only the last few inches of your risers anyway. I have heard of some jumpers landing a main with their non-magnetic tuck tabs still being tucked in. -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atair did. Here is a link to their patent application: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=atair&s2=magnet&OS=atair+AND+magnet&RS=atair+AND+magnet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
