stowed with reversed pin bridle routing
 
you get to the top, high enough to go stowed(300ft), but have reversed your pins for going handheld.
time issues(no rerouting) and the exit would make it a lot easier to go stowed.
anyone done this?
i think for a 1 sec delay the exposed bridle wouldn't cause problems....except the snag hazards on the climb out.
thoughts?

Done it once. I just routed the exess bridal back down under the flap so it wasnt flaping around and stowed the pc as normal.

I haven't done it, but I have seen it done a couple times, and but there were no issues on those jumps. I can't really imagine any major problems, so long as the excess bridle is controlled somehow.

yea...i have done it also. i have attached velcro on the "soulder" and the bridal, so that quite natural to use pins "upsidedown"
