WARNING:
When connecting the rescue
bridle be sure to secure the connection
using tape, rubber bands or heat shrink
wrap. If the bridles are not secure they
may burn or cut from excess friction.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to connect both
rescue bridles to the rescue.
Connecting the rescue bridle
To connect a rescue to your harness we recommend using a GIN Rescue Carabiner.
If you choose to use different type of connector, it should be rated at least 9 times the
maximum weight. For example, our recommended 7mm Stainless Steel screw-gate
maillon (square) connector has a minimum breaking load of 28kN (2855 Kgf). It is the
pilot’s responsibility to check the compatibility of the rescue system and ensure that it is
installed properly.
Be sure to inspect your connector during normal maintenance and safety checks.
Replace it whenever there are any signs of wear and check your rescue system with a
professional after any deployment. We recommend that you cover the connection using
the Maillon rapid cover to prevent excess friction. Rubber-bands should also be used to
secure the attachment and prevent excess friction.
Recommended by GIN: 7mm stainless steel screw-gate maillon
7mm square maillon
Breaking load: 28kN
Maillon connection (Recommended by Gin Gliders)
