your parachute container does not have grommets pre-installed in your harness please
contact the harness manufacturer or give us a call.
4. S-fold the parachute bridle into the bottom 1/3 of your parachute container. Leave enough
bridle extending out of the parachute container side (just above the bar tack) to have the
covered loop reach your carabiner. Make sure there are no twists or knots in the bridle.
5. Push the parachute into the container and secure the safety lock system.
To secure the safety lock system line up corresponding grommets located on the
Velcro flap.
With the parachute deployment handle on the outside of each grommet thread the
bungee loop through both grommets.
Insert the curved pin located on your parachute deployment bag handle through the
bungee loop peaking through the grommets on the outside of your parachute
container.
Repeat this process to secure the second safety lock.
If you have any question as to whether your system is secured properly, try to open
the Velcro closure without pulling on the parachute deployment bag handle. If
the parachute container opens freely, your safety lock system is not properly
installed. Next try to open the Velcro by pealing the parachute deployment bag
handle away from the deployment bag. The curved pins should slide out of the
bungee loop and allow the Velcro to open.
If your curved pins slide out of the bungee loops before you exert pressure on the
handle you may need to shorten the bungee loop. To do this simply slide the
knot in the bungee towards the looped end.
6. Secure the top and sides of the Velcro on your parachute container. The more force you
apply to the Velcro the better it will close.
7. Attach the looped end of your bridle to your carabiner. Make sure that your bridle is
opposite the carabiner gate. Secure the bridle to your harness as prescribed by your harness
maker. Make sure you do not have excess bridle that may get caught on anything.
8. If desired attach a safety from your harness main strap directly to your parachute bridle
bypassing the carabiner. This safety should be able to withstand 4000 pound load. It is your
backup in the event of a carabiner failure during deployment.
After you place your parachute into your harness:
1. Be sure the handle releases the safety pins before it pulls on the deployment bag.
2. Practice hanging in your harness and pulling your parachute out of the container.
Note: If your parachute is too small for your parachute container, the handle may not
want to release properly. You can add foam to the bottom of your parachute container to help the
parachute ride higher in your harness container.
3.
Do the “knee test” to assure that your parachute is secure.
