I'm a bit unhappy with my toggles as they don't really stay in place very well. I haven't had one fire yet, but too often they come off partly and flap around, held in place mostly by the tension on the steering-lines. I do replace the velcro often enough that it shouldn't happen, but it still does.
I did a search here and on dz and looked at all the major manufacturers websites, but they all only offer toggles (line-release or not) that are secured to the riser by velcro.
Why is that? I have velcroless toggles on my skydiving-rig that work really well and never come off. The only downside with them is that you first have to pull up to release them before you can pull down, so in a stress-situation you might loose a bit of time and that's why I haven't installed toggles like that on my base-rig. But aren't there any other designs out there?
