Sparky http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp55/mjosparky/Skydiving/untitled.jpg Of course, as you can see this pin is not sealed either. Because I plan to replace it. Once it is replaced it will be fitted under Type III tape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nancy's suggestion that we always use intermediate pins also involves the manufacturer and the TSO as well.

I like their pin. But the marine eye on the ripcord has the same question about the swage, doesn't it? Since they still offer the cable with the marine eye, we still have the problem of a terminal swage. If they discontinued the cable ripcord, and offered only the Spectra ripcord, then yes, they would seem to have a complete solution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
