"It would take some serious doing to foul his main and his reserve... and some know-how."

I used to jump a lot and it amazed me at how simple it would be to tamper with someones chute. All that is required is a knife or set of cutters. The reserve is usually sealed with a lead seal,packed by an APA certified, and would require a bit more expertise.

Yes, the lead-sealed reserve has initials of the reserve packer/inspector. It would take a lot to tamper with it without springing it or leaving clear evidence.

I still jump, when Mrs. Principled and little Miss Principled let me. I've got 54 jumps.
