    I guess I'm worried bout me cause I understood exactly what Mayf was
    saying... and it's the same thing Dave was saying last year.... the Yank

    Don't laugh at this question... but What would be wrong with a Bungee
style
    cord arrangement of some sort?  We aren't drag racing.... why does the
hit
    have to be violent, if we can control it someway?

    Dave has some interesting ideas on Shock absorbtion systems as well....

    I'm seriously listening here as the bugeye might actually have the kinda
    speeds that make all of this conversation have merit...

  If the storm door on my house has a shock absorbing spring on the safety
chain, why can't a parachute line have something like it? Bob in connecticut
