Fellow Europeans...
If I had ever doubted the value of this forum, those doubts would have been
put to rest w/ the thoughtful discussion in this thread. My most sincere
condolences to Graham Higgins and my hopes for his quick and full recovery.

On the question of hardpoints, it first occurs to me that I prefer the dual
shoulder straps, just from an ergonomic point of view, and second, that I
like the notion of four attachpoints in the "ceiling" above the baggage bay
as this would afford the opportunity to distribute (rather than concentrate)
point loads on the structure of the fuselage. As I ponder this issue, my
concerns are what impact loads can be tolerated, and I'm delighted to hear
that E2004 seems interested in researching this and making recommendations.
