9 ft has been adopted as a standard bridle length for use on low speed deployments. The reason for the extra bridle length is to increase snatch and help overcome the inertia of a closed container and (relatively) heavy canopy. As speeds increase it is possible to shorten bridle length. However, a bridle longer than 11 ft has the potential to entangle with steering lines or get tossed over the leading edge of the canopy. This is especially true with smaller canopies.
