I get to this chain of thought after reading one fatality report on this site. The guy was not able to solve horseshoe, he cutted and pulled reserve... and both chutes were entangled... I have a feeling that horse-shoe is kind of Pmal's which is very hard to solve with standard reserve procedure. And just pulling (without cutoff) can be even worse... hmm.

There are several potential dangers. Like everything else in skydiving. Do you suggest that putting one more danger on the top of it would not change anything? Just for your information in some countries is prohibited even to walk on the street with headpohones or driving a bicucle with headphones and you suggest that having that noise in your ears during such extreme activity as parachutejump cannot do any harm? In my humble opinion it is prohibited to take _any_ devices in the plane except the chute and altimeter.

in cases where horseshoe cannot be solved, standard reserve procedure says: cut main+pull reserve. If we cut main in this situation there is still a big chance that it will remain attached to the other point (of horseshoe). When the reserve is deployed the chances of main-reserve entaglement are huge! Is this correct reasoning?
