Hi Franziska. The priority is to get the reserve package clear of the debris (cravated paraglider /twisted risers?) and the suspension lines tight before any of the canopy starts to deploy. If the reserve starts opening before it is in clear air, it will just tangle in paraglider lines and fail to ever open. This is no freefall or basejump chute. See ua-cam.com/video/0jMHOwKB5CU/v-deo.html although this Gin test pilot has a system to jettison his main glider -the rest of us cannot.
The container should be released first, not last. This video does not correspond to other instructions. Imagine if the container is released after all ropes are released. Hope the package still has enough energy to pull the last cord our of the container. Also: it makes no sense to hide the opening surface of the parachute folded in the middle of the canoby. The inlet has to filled with air first. Every second counts.
Do they know what there doing??
English subtitles would be nice. I packed mine yesterday and found it more complicated that traditional round reserves.
Thank you. Next time I'll consider English subtitles.
Why not use the packing tabs that are sewn around the top of the canopy?
There are also some that don't. Thank you for your interest.

Thank you for your advice.

Frank, I think like you. I didn't find more information on Gin's page. GIN should inform this better.
Wrong finalising lines free off the container. This lines make tendence for wrong openning.
Gin has made improvements.
