And you'd want to hope the rig hadn't been attacked by mould or mice while being stored.

The only reason it got re packed was because of the recent requirement to have it done for comps. I am not saying this is a reason for longer re packs, just was an interesting happening as we all thought it would fall apart when it was opened.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] parachutes I really can't remember what the opening time did after 12 months. Got a little slower again I think. Then again you have to ask about the difference between a parachute worn every day and one worn one day every two weeks and stored in a cool dry place in between. I suspect a lot of things are getting done in aviation because "that's the way it always has been done" possibly because inferior older technology set the requirements and then not being reviewed.
