Fitting the rescue system
The housing for the reserve parachute is below the seat in the front part of the
harness. The container is large enough for most reserve parachutes on the market
today. The reserve parachute has to be linked to the harness before it is inserted
into the built-in pocket. This connection takes the form of a dual bridle fixed to the
harness at shoulder height, for better load distribution and to ensure a correct
landing position in the case that the reserve parachute is deployed. This helps
reduce the risk of injury to a minimum.
The reserve chute bridle has a large central loop colored red, and this is reinforced
with a cover in Cordura 500. At the extremity of the loop, there is a Velcro band
which enables the link with the reserve parachute to be held firmly in position.
