Fig 2 – Swivel device fitted to the SQR Hangglider version
5.3 Hangglider swivel
SQR Hangglider versions come with a swivel included in the bridle (connection line). This item is
tested and certified up to 5000 kg breaking load. The swivel effectively prevents a spinning wing
from twisting the parachute suspension lines. This is an essential safety factor!
The SQR Hangglider versions have the swivel device fitted at the factory. A later inclusion of a swivel
is not permitted! If a reserve does not have a built-in swivel, it is a paraglider version. Conversion for
use with a hangglider is not permitted.
To maximise safety against a carabiner or other equipment failure, we recommend that the reserve
be connected
also directly
to the hangglider harness by a suitable connector link (minimum break-
ing load 2500kg).
