Just for the sake of conversation. I know that some people are opting not to use the line mod since the tail gate seems to be so reliable. There is a video on skydiving movies that shows a tail gate hang up. How would some of you deal with this situation given you have some time to deal with it? Would you pump your rears? Pop your breaks and pump them? What if you don't use the line mod? Do you think that it would be more beneficial to use the line mod? If you were going to try pumping your breaks you would have a bigger range of motion to fix the problem with the line mod (possibly). I know that hang-ups don't happen very often. Some of you probably have some comments on how this particular hang up happened. Maybe it's the black rubber bands or the larks head. I have seen quite a few people going with the larks head. I don't use the larks head because I'm just not convinced that it's that great a method.
I know that both hang ups and line overs are rare. I just thought that maybe this might make for some good conversation. Micks site looks great now and I would like to see some more traffic.
Here is the link to the hang up video. You will have to log in before you can view the video.
