Dan, What I want to know is the facts behind the wing. Tell me what psi is required to activate the overpressure dump and how you place the bungee to avoid causing this problem. How do you do it? No one else has an answer to that one tough guy, and it seems like a reasonable question. I'm more interested in preventing more deaths than in name calling and counter productivity. You say under stress you'll revert to your training. How can you train to avoid false overpressure dump valve activation?
