Richard (at bigtuna)
  I'll bet this guy you referred to getting brain-lock when his
Paralert started bleeting in his ear is the kind of guy that is
spooked at other unexected things that occationally occur in the
sky.  I know a guy at our drop zone that had a similar description.
He kind of forgot he just bought a Paralet and had it on his
helmet -- when it went off, he thought, oh my god -- pull time
and he did it right then!  But he does lots of other stupid things
occationally too.  I just can't blame the Paralert for this.  Even
he only made this mistake once -- so the recommendation is to make
a solo jump with the device first to get used to it.
