I thought when they pushed hummers and such out of planes that they are
attached to a sled of sorts

They don't hold up well to airborne drops and the belts break. They look
good, but don't hold air for long. The bias don't seem to have the same
problem.

You don't suppose that if they were inflated to standard pressure and then
lifted to altitude they became over inflated do you? Do radial's handle over
inflation more poorly than Bias-ply?

Any Loadmasters on the list?
