*Bump*

But the poll is quite clear....

Did anyone of you have a prematerly PC release during a WS base flight?

I think this would be a nasty problem, if you flying through a "No Pull zone".

Never. Not even in hundreds of skydives has it ever partially come out of the leg pouch. Oftentimes however, when you build something better a new & improved idiot is made to counter the improved design.

I have jumped with both configurations without too much trouble, however I prefer the leg pouch. Put simply, its easier to find.

There is however one configuration (very very unlikely) which makes the V2 much safer. Image for some reason you get knocked (e.g. on a 2-way) and find yourself unstable and low. You decide to go in for the pull, you panic and go straight for the BOC (instead of sliding your hands over the back of the container). The wing material could now be in your way.
