Oh, and there are hydraulic reefing systems around. May or may not be sale. Try Jerry Baumchen on here for a lead and call Ralph at Western Parachute Sales. I know I saw one in the last year, some showed it to me.. Hmmm, actually I think.someone had it at the PIA symposium. Also contact Riggerlee on here.

I saw one once. Was showed how it worked. And don't remember much of anything. It uses hydraulics to resist the opening of the canopy with a line wrapped around it. When forces overcome hydraulic force it releases to allow the canopy to open.

And anyone can correct me.
