Sandy is well known for the original patent on the articulated skydiving harness, and for the Telesis, Talon, Voodoo, CPX and Curv containers. <a href=\"http:\/\/ https:\/\/skydivingmuseum.org\/hall-of-fame\/inductee\/brenda-reid\">Brenda Reid<\/a> is in the Hall of Fame for her achievements. <br><br>When asked why he wished to have Rigging Innovations merge with Sun Path Products, Sandy replied, \u201cMy wife and I have no children or family who might be interested in continuing our legacy. We have dedicated our lives to skydiving and we couldn\u2019t think of a better partner with the resources and innovation to take our brand and products forward the way Sun Path can. It\u2019s a big day for us and the skydiving industry as a whole.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pat-thomas-sandy--1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pat-thomas-sandy--1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pat-thomas-sandy--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pat-thomas-sandy--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pat-thomas-sandy--400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pat-thomas-sandy--860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pat-thomas-sandy-.jpg 1742w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Pat Thomas and Sandy Reid sharing a hug<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sun Path CEO Pat Thomas said on the merger: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have our two companies come together as two compatible competitors with common markets but different offerings. Sandy and Brenda have built a great company that\u2019s well respected and loved by those that jump their containers. Adding RI\u2019s products with ours strengthens the Sun Path brand and we look forward to the merger being finalized to where all of our processes and procedures are streamlined and become one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers will not see any immediate changes in the near future. While the long term goal is to have all Rigging Innovations products be manufactured at Sun Path, this transition will be done slowly and deliberately to ensure no disruption of service. Both locations remain fully operational at present. All dealer networks, ordering, service, sponsored athletes and support will continue as is until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sun-path-RI-merge-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sun-path-RI-merge-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sun-path-RI-merge-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sun-path-RI-merge-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sun-path-RI-merge.jpg 1794w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All Rigging Innovations and Sun Path Products designed and manufactured after Jan 1, 2000 will continue to be supported and produced.
