    something I remember hearing a TM say to a well built (not fat) guy: TM: Do you know why I get all the big guys?? Student: Why's that? TM: I get first pick! Something I have also heard said at tandem briefings: TM: now when on the plane we are going to strap you up real tight, now any of you guy's who havn't been to a boarding school...this may be a bit of a shock!

    I agree, I doubt a real skytie would have that problem, sadly looking around mine and most other dropzones, these 'bungy balls' seem to be the norm... As for stowing brake lines, those 20 seconds saved are vitally important to some people.

    From the UK skydive mag: At Skydive Spain, a situation where one of those elastic bungees with white ball on snags the excess brake line on a velocity causing a severe spiral. Before cutting away he reaches around and opens the reserve flap to free the slider stow. Without doing this it would have been likely the main would remain in tow. Have attached the article from the mag which includes a video image of the snag
