Attachment of the rescue bridle to the harness webbing by rapid link

A Maillon Rapide type connector (rapid link) or dynema soft shackle are recommended.
The connector should be rated at least 15 times the maximum weight, for example,
a 7mm Stainless Steel rapid link – 3125 Kg - provides a suitable connection. The rapid
link should be held in place with rubber bands, tape or plastic heat shrink tube.
