I think so. They originated the internal balloon to contain the lead dust.
I think a bag style throw weight would generally be my preference to avoid it ricocheting in the canopy.
I've had mine for years. I used them daily for many years although I'm out of daily production work now. After rupturing one via bombing it out onto a deck (I think) I generally just untie the line and take the bag off. All my bags aren't Rockets, but my favorite ones are.

My added two cents would be to stay with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts and not using random sections of rope. The TM bridge, for example, is purpose built for that application and has a different manufacturing process than standard Globe 3000. All the harness manufacturers will...
Especially, if that's how they always run the Port-O-Wrap, any perceived "lag" won't be an issue.
