377 has never mentioned no ripcord, nobody has...the big deal has always been the X on the container..this would be 3 things missed by an experienced skydiver...
1) The famous X was missed
2) the firmness of the container
3) No ripcord..
It's like giving a kid a loaded gun telling him it's a toy gun...

I don't believe it had an X. Also, it wasn't like the chute normally had a ripcord and it was removed. Also, I do not believe DBC took the dummy as a true reserve. Rather I absolutely believe he used it to store the overflow packets.

It would have to have a ripcord, otherwise the container couldn't be closed. And if it didn't have a ripcord, everyone should have recognized that it was not a serviceable reserve chute.
Further, if it didn't have a ripcord it would be of only limited use in training. How to pull and discard the ripcord in an emergency is part of the training.
