Default Re Dyneema Launch failures

We currently have 1 cable with Dyneema shock rope attached
to
semi rigid strop with weak link and 1 cable with a
more traditional
2/3rd in hemp rope, the hemp shock rope has more weight
and
makes cable drop clear quicker than the floaty Dyneema
set up -
it has been mentioned that we will return to the old
setup as it
appears safer

Do you use a parachute?
