    You are right about the amount of drag reduction. It's not just the drag that's important, but also the riser spread from left side to right side. It will make the canopy flatter thus flying more undistorted and more like a wing.

    If you really want to be competitive you should be thinking about a removable slider. -jonathan

    I doubt that the lack of a bungie between the leg straps is what caused this accident. Although, it may have prevented it. But here's what I'm curious about.... Canopy = sub-100 (let's say 96, since we don't have the actual size) Wing Loading = 1.6 That puts the persons actual exit weight at about 153. Subtract the rig weight of about 15 lbs, leaves you with a person who weighs 138 lbs. That's a pretty small person, wouldn't you say? I'm hoping that the rig this person was jumping was custom built for that type of person. If this very light-weight person is jumping a rig that was bought used, it may have been the actuall size of the leg straps (too big) that may have caused this mishap and not the lack of a bungie. Unless of course your figures are incorrect. -Jonathan
