    That goes back. Some of those guys from way back formed a rocket club which eventually had us as part owners of The Rocket Ranch.

    Here's one the the rockets in 1986, I'm the guy bending over.

    For the very new, you bend over in front of the rocket while it's on it's side with the parachute ejection charge being loaded.
