If the Free Fall Device line fails to retract, do not clip into the Free Fall
Device and request assistance.
Ensure that the daily device inspection has been performed and that the
webbing line, carabiners, and device have not been damaged.
Use a helmet if determined necessary by a qualified person.
Do not allow Participants to descend with sharp objects (i.e. keys) in
pockets.
Ensure that Operators are anchored to the platform at all times. Partic-
ipants must be anchored to the platform
AND
attached to the Quick-
Flight
UNTIL THEY ARE READY
to descend.
Never push a reluctant Participant as this can create imbalance and
improper orientation during free fall.
Never continue operation if the webbing lines fail to fully retract. The
webbing lines are considered to be fully retracted when at least one
colored webbing end is touching the webbing nozzle and the other
colored webbing end is less than 0.3m (1 ft) from the webbing nozzle.
DO NOT pull out any excess webbing line prior to descent. The webbing
line must be fully retracted or under tension prior to operation.
Check the harness is correctly fitted and tightened.
Check that the carabiners from the QuickFlight Free Fall Device line are
connected to fall arrest attachment point(s) on the Participant harness
as designated by the harness manufacturer, and that the gates are prop-
erly closed.
Pay attention to the difference in locations of the primary and second-
ary carabiners when making harness connections! The primary cara-
biner is on the shorter attachment of the RipCord Webbing and should
transmit all loading under normal operation. The secondary carabiner is
on the longer attachment of the RipCord Webbing and should remain
slack through normal operation.
If both the primary and secondary carabiners are attached to the same
harness attachment point, the carabiner gates should face opposite
and opposed. Head Rush Technologies recommends that the primary
carabiner latch gate faces outward away from the Participant and the
secondary carabiner latch gate faces inward toward the Participant
when the webbing is tensioned, when specific harness connection
points allow.
If the primary and secondary carabiners are attached to different
harness attachment points, the carabiner latch gates should both face
outward from the Participant when the webbing is tensioned.
Attach the primary carabiner and the secondary carabiner onto the
harness attachment points in a way that does not load the secondary
carabiner during normal operation.
