Placing your QS parachute in your Harness
The following instructions are for conventional parachute containers using Velcro closures. Consult your
harness manual for other parachute container style routing. No matter what, be sure your parachute
bridle is connected to the carabiner and can easily break free from the harness routing.
1. Completely open the 3-sided Velcro closure on the parachute container located on your
harness.
2. Fold the hook side of the Velcro on your parachute container away from the inside of the
parachute container so it cannot snag any part of your deployment bag.
3. Place your parachute into your harness parachute container with the handle facing up.
The handle will extend out of the container and lay over the Velcro with the grommets.
