My Friend and I discovered this whilst unpacking and inspecting a rig. One brake is stowed correctly.

Re: [againsthumanity] Brake Stowage, Slider Off Setup Error
I am not familiar with the jump history of the rig or jumper. Take care,

Re: [gauleyguide] Brake Stowage, Slider Off Setup Error
The brake lines blew off on opening and then he used rear risers for flight control. If the same happens slider up, assuming the steering lines are going through the guide rings, it would greatly increase the chance of a line over. If the same happens slider up, without the steering lines going through the guide rings, it would greatly increase the chance of trapping the slider at the canopy slider stops. Take care,

Oh! Both control lines were set up wrong. I get it.

Whay I saw in the video: A fast acting 5 way, HA! Seriosously? A car drives by, stops, and puts it in rverse and backs up to the last two jumpers. I Think that jump could have been 1/2 the time or less, with no knowlegde of said jumps from random drivers. I wish I had big mountains to go jump carefreely.

It was just a jump. Not fast acting. Middle age boys. It is Italy - not necessary to hurry up :)
