Even us unwashed Okies back in the 80's would look over each other's rigs like monkeys looking for fleas, and sometimes a potential problem WAS found.
    Bad things do happen, but it makes me wonder what happeneD and if it was use error. Did he deploy the main then have a problem? Did he Not cut away the main and deployed the reserve? I wonder what the reserve repack date was? Did he free fall through the hard deck and have his Cypres fire which would deploy the reserve not taking into account the main? Either way its horrible.
