...there are no clear benefits to anything longer.



...but there are proven disadvantages. Apparently a skydiver using a very long bridle (I think it was about 12') for a wingsuit jump in Australia experienced a malfunction when the bridle line got caught in one of the cascades. Someone who was there should comment on this though.

Alf is doing a night tower jump and during deployment, he believes, his pilot chute caught and entangled with his still descending mesh slider. This jump taught us all that BASE bridles shouldn't be so long in length as to allow this to occur.



Another reason to not have a bridle longer than 9'?
