Number And Weight Of Blocks
no blocks - too light, collapsed in on itself as it fell
one bucket weight - still too light but better, collapsed inwards partially.
two bucket weights - just right, floated down slowly and didn't collapse in on itself, did move around more because the wind was able to cause a breeze motion
one bucket weight and a ballast block inside - dropped with more control than just two bucket weights, however it also dropped faster
two bucket weights with ballast blocks inside both - Suspension lines snapped before dropping because of the weight.
