List because parachute was not deployed. It takes training and
practice to be ready to use the parachute, should the situation
dictate its use. Not uncommon for folks to freeze up, physically and
mentally, when critical situations occur. One must make a snap
decision and act, right then to pull the red handle. Can not sit
there and think about it.

I agree
1. I changed my pulleys to "real" aircraft parts a long time ago
the ones with the bearings etc. I've cut thru some of the cheaper ones
like John says.
2. If you don't practice (at least practice) pulling the red handle every time
you are sitting on the runway - about to takeoff, odds are that you will
not even remember that you have a chute when things go wrong,
I've been situations where I would (maybe?) have used the chute, but
didn't remember that I had one until it was to late to use it.
