Re: [Lethal82] Pin length and closing loops made from break cord

Has anyone ever experimented with shorter pins or for that matter why do we currently have a standard pin length? Was this just copied from skydiving where a pin lock cannot occur in the same manner as a base container.
its not the pins beeing the problem, its comes down to container geometry. and i wouldnt really say its a overly serious problem in the first place once you know what you have to look out for.
slider down -> open the pin protektor flap and this is not going to be ANY issues anymore with most container designs, and the ones remaining are fixable by just standing up the pins.
slider up -> neither pin lenght nor containers geometry is a problem the problem here.
what youre left with is the chance of putting a bridle knot around your PC, or forgetting to put a PC on the bridle in the first place.
