Something of this nature is already being done. I believe that Henry at Wings was the first on the idea. It is not a multi attachment but simply a yolk (similar to the reserve d-bag of most manufacturers) Basically, take a triangle piece of material and sew one side all the way across the bottom of the d-bag and then you end up with a point of the triangle approx. 6-12" toward the pilot and connect that point of the triangle to the bridle. I think it helps bring the bag out of the tray cleaner (I don't have cut away corners on the rig) and possibly gives stability while lines are paying out. I have over 100 BM jumps on a stabilized bag.... no complaints

No the pin is not next to the pilot (pin to base of pilot) means there is 9' of bridle between the curve pin and the pilot ...

I modified my extraction system specifically for BirdMan jumps ... I made a stabilized D-bag with 9 foot bridle (pin to base of pilot) and 30" zero-p with plastic handle. I had been flying a GTi and using this system with a Crossfire 119. I deployed in every possible way (excluding something totally stupid) and had no problems to speak of ... But in switching to a SkyFlyer 3, the increased forward speeds were making deployments on the scary side. I acquired a Triathlon 120 and am now using this with the same extraction system. I have an original Mirage G3 (no cut out corners). Now since having this Triathlon deployments are good. I don't slow down for a second.... full speed ahead, drop the finger holds and go for the pilot... less than 45 degree openings every time.
