We recommend using a harness with the maximum settings as used during the certification flights.

Smaller horizontal distance between risers increases the risk of twisted risers.

A looser setting will result in leaning more towards the side of a collapse and can slow down
the reopening.

Low hangpoints reduce the roll-stability of your harness and can also slow down
the reopening of collapses.

Hangpoints higher than tested by about 2-4 cm can be tolerated and have no influence
on inflight security.
