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 6mm Stainless Steel screwgate maillon (square) connector has a minimum breaking load of
12,5kN (1250 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.

be sure to secure the connection using tape, rubber

they may burn or cut from excess friction.
