    One item on the Bondage wings (and some others) that needs to be addressed
and  has yet to be mentioned is the pull dump lanyards.    These tend to get
wrapped around hoses or caught on other gear and the dump valve held opened or
it is oppened as the surface of the wing moves during inflation.    Gas can
then flow out as fast as a diver inflates without him realizing it. 
   Stiffen these by any means possible to keep them from wrapping and reduce
the size of the ball on the end.
