It would be easier to carry a hook knife, or easier to cut it away and get another skydive.--------------- Peter BASE - The Ultimate Victimless Crime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recommend skydiving with WLO toggles to test, experiment and play with them. Other than that, I don't see skydivers adopt them any time soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
