It is imperative to choose connectors wisely. The dimensions
and shape must be adapted to the connecting straps of the
harness and to the rescue risers of the parachute, so that the
effort under load is applied in an optimal way.
KUIK III: Cocoon version
(Available as an option)
In the cocoon version, the KUIK III has an emergency container
integrated in the cocoon.
The volume of the integrated container lets you carry a rescue
parachute with a volume of between 2.6L and 4,6L. If a
parachute with a volume exceeding the maximum permissible
volume is fitted, its correct deployment cannot be guaranteed.
When using a dirigible rescue parachute with integrated risers,
these integrated risers must be connected directly. Shoulder
mounting can be carried out as described above.
Please refer to the manufacturer's installation and usage
