DocPop 1 #13 September 6, 2009 Hey Jim - you might want to check how your toggle is attached to the brake line because it looks to me like it is misrouted (ie. the loop is passed over the short part of the toggle rather than the long end).

I just pulled the rig apart to check, I see what you mean...but it doesn't look to me like there is any way (other than line breakage) for it to drop off. It's a fairly new canopy and came rigged that way, but I will definitely have Denny (rigger) take a look next time I'm at Spaceland.
