1. To attach, pass the loop at the end of the pilot chute bridle through the bag’s grommet. The loop
should extend out of the grommet on the inside of the bag.
2. Now pass the loop through the metal ring, which is sewn to the top of your canopy, and then pass
the entire pilot chute and deployment bag back through the loop and pull tight
Note:: If your canopy does not have a metal ring but simply a loop made of nylon webbing, then the
use of a rapid link is necessary for attachment. DO NOT tie the bridle directly to the canopy
without a ring or rapid link. This will cause canopy fabric to be pulled through the bag’s
grommet upon deployment causing canopy damage.
