Does the LED light up during ALL alarms, or just during the first one. If during ALL, isn't it a bit distracting when you are fighting with the malufunctioning main...?

Anyone knows the good brand of food grade silicon spray that you can buy in Europe/Poland?

1. According to PD, it should take 12 to 14 pounds of force to release the lines. 2. Baglock is better than line dump... .

Put a wine cork in it, or a piece of foam sprayed with a hair spray.

Is the flap still "bent" 180 degrees?

It says this in my post

Here is SLOW reserve opening : http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1622&string=5%20cell

Here is one survivng double mal: http://video.google.pl/videoplay?docid=9090418217553474880&q=slow+reserve&total=68&start=20&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1 Miracle Mike: after deploying his main parachute, his reserve deployed accidently. (He was jumping a Dolphin container). He made several jumps on this container that day, but did not notice the RSL laynard routing problem that developed from mishandling the container. His man risers pulled the RSL lanyard out and dumped his reserve into his main. He then compounded issues by cutting away his main. He spun around without control of either parachute from 4000 feet or so while a couple of hundred people watched. He disappeared behinf the tree line. I was one of the first persons on the scene. Expecting to see a badly broken and mangled body, Mike was laying flat on his back in thick mud. He was unscathed. He returned from the hospital a few hours later with nothing but a single scratch on his neck. whew! after careful inspection of the video you can see that the main has at least 4 cells inflated. The reserve is creating drag as well to slow him down to a survivable speed. In addition, landing in soft thick mud and bushes broke his fall. Had his main actually managed to clear after cutting away, and or if he landed on concrete, Miracle Mike might be called 'Mop-up Mike' instead.

I think it's a bunch of BS. Decelerating from 120 mph to 0 mph in a distance of few inches will not kill you (and hitting tyhe ground with your head at that speed)??? What are the G forces on such deceleration?
