I have a couple of questions about the video. For one I have never done a direct bag. I noticed though that the bridle and pc are still hooked up. Most video that I have seen of direct bag they leave the bridle and pc off. Is that just a personal preference or should it actually be left off? Also in the video at around 1:14 there is video of the canopy in flight from the jumpers view point. It appers as thought the inner a and b lines are cascaded. Am I seeing that correctly? Dont most base canopys run a continuous line for the inner a and b lines? What do people think about that?

I've never seen someone leave it on before. It looks weird, but I can't think of any real arguments one way or another. I suppose you could hypothesize some sort of potential bag/bridle entanglement, and personally, I'd always leave it off in the interest of "Keep it Simple, Stupid." Still, I can't think of any real big dangers.

Plus, it saves you probably close to 60 seconds of rigging. If you do 300 direct bag jumps this year, that's like 5 hours you save yourself.

Oh baby, thats the shit

Awesome video!!!Free bird Forever

Great video Joris!

Pity your camera didn't work for our epic swiss dam adventure
Would have been nice footage
