    RSL

    RSLs do save lives, and have very rarely contribute to fatalities ( I have heard of one on a tandem but no others). When you have a low cutaway a RSL can make the difference between a reserve ride and denting the earth. So for all the people that say RSLs are bad, they are probably just letting snap judgements get the better of them. For the record, I choose not to have a RSL, but I have thought long and hard about that. I also have 3 reserve rides and don't believe in getting stable after a cutaway.
