      If I'm going to jump out of a plane (I'm not planning this any time soon) I'd want the newest best technology you can buy.

        Yes, but since that normally happens through parachute school you get to use one of theirs when learning, so...

          That's true, but at least you can be somewhat assured that the gear is maintained well by the school.

            What about fabrication defects that would have been found by the first user the hard way?
