I've seen it with new Javelins also.In my experience it was negative habit transfer when going from a standard rig to a fully articulated one.If you bend at the waist with a fully articulated harness the bottom of the container will move.My GF was having this exact problem with her first jumps on a new Odyssey during the holiday boogie in AZ.Fortunately there was a Sunpath rep there and he was going thru the body position issues with someone else having the exact same problem.In our case instead of placing the left hand over the head at pull time it was suggested that the left hand push down in front of the face.This corrected a couple hundred jumps of muscle memory of basically bad body position(twisting to the right at the waist) and resolved the problem for us.Your results may vary.As always discuss it with your instructors at your dz.

The problem is that the seat belts were designed for use in a seat.The FAA and the TSO process prevent the use of restraints that would be much more effective than the lap belts typically used for skydiving.I jumped a Caravan in Belgium that had restraints that had the equivalent to an RSL release (only bigger)that could be hooked right on to a hip ring or thru a leg strap/lift web that appeared to offer a much better restraining ability than a typical lap belt.

Looks like we have a full plane

Its a lot like motorcycling.There will always be untrained people with more money than sense driving the latest croch rocket past their ability and right into the rehab or morgue.The difference here is that while you can buy a motorcycle and drive away from the dealership and kill yourself on the first turn,in skydiving you have some limits already in place.You can't jump without a current rig,some form of proof of training and experience,and its pretty hard to do it without an aircraft.Skydiving is a lot like taking your motorcycle to a track,where you start out as a novice and work your way up. They won't let you show up with the latest and greatest bike and go out and hurt yourself or others.There are rules and if you don't follow them you don't get to ride on their track.If you don't progress thru the training you don't get to move up thru the classes and go faster.If you don't play by their rules you don't get to play.Now what the rules for canopy flight should be I'm not sure,but having no rules makes no sense,thats been proven.
