Third method,
suitable for steerable or non-steerable parachutes with double
connection point) as follows:
If you are using a reserve parachute with directional
control and dual bridle, or if your reserve parachute
has a double -riser bridle, it can be connected to the
harness using the two loops positioned at the base of
the harness bridle near the padded shoulder straps.
In this case, the harness’s reserve parachute bridle
will not be used, and so it should be folded, fastened
using two elastic bands, and positioned under the
cover behind the pilot’s neck.
The two connections should be made using screw -lock karabiners with a breaking
strength of at least 1,400 kg.
In any case, it is important to verify that the length of the bridle is sufficient
to position the reserve parachute inside the harness pocket, and that there
is sufficient play to enable the parachute to be taken out of the pocket
without causing the reserve parachute deployment bag itself to open during
extraction.
To prevent anomalous lateral loads, the bridle should be attached to both
the loops on the shoulder straps. Not to just one of them.
Insert the parachute in the harness container
Only the inner container supplied with the associated release handle, which
is included in the scope of delivery of the harness, may be used.
Insert the parachute in the harness container with the handle visible toward the
outside and with the ropes facing downward.
Position the handle in its specific lodging and ensure that the Velcro sewn on the
handle attaches to the Velcro on the harness.
Introduce a thin rope (paragliding line or plastic strimmer cord type) into each
elastic loop which you will use to help close the container. Introduce the elastic
loops into the smallest of the eyelets under the handle.
Take the bridle cover zip and the second zip that closes the other end of the
container to their start point under the emergency parachute handle.
Close the zip on both sides about 20 cm.
Close the external part of the container as shown in the photo, taking care during
this phase that none of the zips open.
Insert the two plastic yellow pins into the elastic loops and then under the cover
arranged between the two.
