- I was looking through my January issue of Parachutist and noticed that
- in the picture of Zen CRW on pg 31 (I think) something looked odd about
- the way their chutes were deploying. It seemed to me that they didn't
- pack their main into a bag. Is this right? We don't have many CRW
- people up here and I've never watched a CRW competition so I don't have
- anything to go on. Is it common for CRW jumpers to pack this way? Is it
- safe? Is the parachute itself designed to be packed this way?
