Yikes... can't imagine trying to get a reserve out past all that hardware AND the main without cutting away. Ahh good point, but thats not it. See I am not the only one that didnt catch it. It took me probably 6 years to see it. Will wait a bit before I let it out. I think it will make this cert, "rare", well I mean as far as skydivers are concerned, never be of value but neat to have.
