Default Static line vs. hand deploy

Gents
After Dave Nadlers deployment where he got knocked out [ that may explain a few things BTW ] and he deployed about 1 sec above the ground, I'm seriously considering a static line added to my 'chute.
Any good reasons not too?
I realize you have to remember to hook it up and disconnect it after flight, and if you bailed under a very strong Cu Nim, but other than that??
