pilot chute

Yup, we had a good discussion about it. I jump with one and the only problem I had with it was that the knot that held the bungee became undone once, so the PC did'nt collaps on that jump.
If something breaks(cord,knot,stitching) the pc will still function as it used to before the mod. Only concern is when you do hops 'n pops....you need a certain speed for the PC to inflate, and if you do really low jumps you may not have that speed on pull time, but just undo the cord and you have your normal PC for hops 'n pops. My personal harddeck if I jump with it is 900m, emergency jump 750m, under that I use my reserve.
Some guys at my DZ tested at what speed the PC became inflated and towed it from a car....at 60 Km/h (40MPH) the PC inflated and nearly pulled the guy out of the window....
But it all depends how hard you set the bungee. I put mine on the softest setting and increased it to a harder setting with 2 cm each jump....took me 6 jumps to get the PC to collaps :)And it's cheap compared to a kill line...paid 10$ to my rigger to do it :)chris
