Two Stong Pop Top rigging errors I'd never seen

I'm talking about pilot emergency rigs. Not the chest mount.

But the chest mounted reserves from the 70's pack identically.

I just finished one of those the other day for a guy jumping a PC. Actually there was a 24 ft in there and when I got it you could use it for a drum it was so tight.

I put in a 26 conical and it wasn't too bad, but still time consuming. You simply have to be careful not to go through lines just like on the pilot rigs.

Didn't have the need to stuff PC material between the springs either. I just drew the material down and under, with remaining tucked under the cap.

You simply have to be careful and don't be in a hurry.

You live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime

But they do vary in size. That's what I was getting at. No you could never put a 28' C-9 in a chest mount but they do make a seat version that takes one. No diaper, just lots of lines.

I've go two pop tops down stairs with 24' flats in them. I torture chest rating students with them.;)
