Dual AAD's?

Thought I read somewhere where dual ADD's were used on a rig but I cannot find the source. Just added insurance? Does anyone know if this could makes sense in some cases beyond that? Seems like it could if they are independently set for different emergency scenarios. Maybe not. Any comments?

In the last European Symposium I saw a rig of Mars "Real x" you can mount on two AAD reserve ...... to their construction "MPAAD" and another one .......type "Cypres"

Skydive Torontp Inc. uses dual AAD's for the first jump students. One AAD on the reserve and one on the main. When a student has demonstrated some stability after few jumps he get a rig with only one AAD (on the reserve).

Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.

What about when the student has a hard pull and goes to reserve while he's falling through the main AAD deployment range?

I know you should cut-away first anyhow, but students might not do that...

USAFA uses a Single Operating System on their student rigs, so that's not an issue.
