Thanks for the video. I'll be packing my parachute for the first time and didn't know where to start. Thanks for the step by step video. I like your top line idea. Makes sense

I worked for Bill Simpson. I made a lot of lines for the canopies. Transmission blankets , etc. Great job!

Could you farther explain the deploy mechanism and how it works? Mainly how that cable holds it and how it releases it once pulled

Great video. I'm surprised though that the manufacturers don't use line stows like we use in skydiving (three or four large rubber bands on each side of the Deployment bag) to help reduce the chances of an entanglement. The routing is different so they'd have to go inside the D-bag, but I think it would be a good idea. A lot of the failures I've seen are in fact from the lines getting tangled or knotted up.

Thanks for making this video. I've wondered how these where done so quickly. You see them used but rarely being packed. Why does'nt NHRA come up with a device similar to the one Aircraft carriers use for the Jets landing on ship, but something drivers can deploy @ finish line or be auto deployed X?' passed the line? As much time passes between runs, wire recoiling time shouldnt be an issue. If anything it'd make tracks more safe if some sort of sensor was installed that would alert the tower the arrest system not in place and not let the tree operate. Just curious, thanks.
