Hi. What is the consensus on jumping a multi bridle?
It makes sense to me but i have heard experienced jumpers condone them but with no convincing argument.

As with most things in life and BASE, if it makes sense to you than you should probably listen to yourself. Afterall, others most likely wont be trusting their life to your set-up as much as you will be.

Why are you looking for someone to talk you out of it so badly if you've already explored this enough to know that most condone (think you meant condemn) them without being able to convince you?

I'm guessing you're exploring the gear manufactures websites and reading info on this site and just have some questions in your early quest for knowledge?

Sorry, that was meant to say condemn. Thanks, I agree with the KISS philosophy. Not trying to convince myself against using it, just trying to get as many opinions about it as possible for knowledge because in the end it is my decision and I want it to be an educated one. So I'm trying to get info on the pros and cons of using the multi bridle and not questions on why I'm asking for opinions, thanks.

whether or not these tests reflect what happens at the speed of a normal deployment, I have no idea (i suspect not, because no "multi-less" deployment looks like their demonstration), but this video shows what they are trying to achieve.

check out this thread it shows impressive what center cell stripping can cause:

Jumped one for a couple of hundred jumps with no issue (slider up and down). Saw somebody get one entangled on a tailpocket during a normal deployment at the perrine once and removed mine after that. Noticed no difference once I took it off.
