How would the placement of the tailpocket (bottom of conatainer vs mid) affect the opening of the parachute?

What are your theories on this subject?

It's going to be _very_ particular to your combination of container/canopy/pack job. I've seen people put the tail pocket as low as the bottom of the container, and as high as the warning label at the top.

It is kind of what Tom is saying, Everybody is doing some of everything.
Harness container Systems are still playing a game of Catch-Up, to
Wing Suit, BASE.
You either have the traditional square tray, box bottom or the new
Bi-Fold, corners that open up to a flat open mat.

If you think your Tail Pocket might snag the bottom of your tray
on deployment. Move it higher up in the tray.

I think some day a Wing Suit is going to be a, Hybrid.
Wing Suit and container as one. (we will see).
