Thank you for that Minnie.............

The bend in the road was in the wrong place, and the car's steering was faulty.

Amazing what people can remember from a very long time ago............

I guess this bounce is exacerbated at low aircraft weight, while several bigwigs say it is not a problem at normal/heavy not carqual light weights. Anyway several other tweaks appear to have solved the bounce problem.
There’s some training required when switching from a torso parachute harness for sure. The air force pilots tend to do the opposite and over tighten, which creates its own problems.
I think you’re spot on about the mislabelled handle/switches, you’d have to have very short arms (T-Rex?) not to be able to reach the seats firing handle.
