3. Whilst 80's may well be "best" a 7 is perfectly useable.

Thats all

Oh and I know of more than one case of people losing nose clipped/leashed stages, but none yet of double attached stages being lost......
Please. don't understand me wrong. You can surely use double clipped stages and be sure they won't "run away". But when you start doing the more stage involved dives, you will have to re-learn that method anyway.

A great problem many agencies have is not teaching people early on the finer parts of stage handeling. As I did for years
