I'm no expert on the subject, but I've really been
checking up on it. Isn't it better to
come down on your main, that is if everything is
okay with it, than to come down on your reserve. I
was instructed to deflate the reserve by pulling on
the lines furthest from me and bunching it up between
my legs. It made sense to me, and that's the way
I'm going to do it because that's the way my jumpmaster
expects it, but is what you say better?
