Re: [84n4n4] BOC was never designed for WS
If I wasn't clear, I wasn't trying to say "this is why we shouldn't have reserves", more of "this is why I think they haven't caught on/why there isn't a mass produced base rig with reserve". I veru much agree with all the arguments for why they would be good, I just don't think you'll find more than a few jumpers who would readily adopt it.
Sorcerer was definitely ahead of its time, that's why someone copied the technology and called it a sky hook :)
I agree, the small paragliding style round is probably the best approach. Small, lightweight, and doesn't need to be controlled. The question is a system to get it out fast by the time you're in the "oh shit I need a reserve" scenario.
