I mean, you shove some rat brains in where my usual brain goes, I'd probably act different too. I'd imagine we'd have to bother the hell out of many rats to come to some sort of final/total conclusion with all this.

Ah, okay, was wondering how they verified someone qualified packed it, makes sense.

Thanks for the info, and yeah, worked in "the loft" of a few places. Never fun on hot days, especially with a metal roof.

Is that something where you'd basically buy a new reserve chute, sealed each time/send it back to the company to be packed and recertified upon use?
