Mini riser and 3 ring

[Kate1973 0]

Have read quite a few posts on here with reference to the pros and cons of the mini 3 ring system. Im in the process of ordering my 1st rig, lucky enough to be able to but brand new but am still a little confused as to whats best. Have spoke to both the instructors at my DZ and my rigger and am still no futher along in my decision, some say yes they be fine, just remember to use 2 hands to cutaway as ive been taught, some say they wouldnt hve them at all!. Are they really just a fashion thing or is there a serious safety issue here with them. Am ordering teardrop superfly with PD Sabre2 150 main. I am very new in skydiving, have 40 jumps, weigh 126 pounds. Im sure ill still get conflicting opinions here but all are welcome, as ive got a few weeks before i make my final decision

for me, the smaller the better. All material is certified, sooo... why not.

At your body wait I reccomend the smaller rings & the type 17 (1") risers. In your case smaller is better. The only time I reccomend the larger rings ( type 8 2" risers) is when the jumper is 200 lbs or more.
