with each other. Be sure it is not routed through the reserve ripcord handle.

5.  Fold and stow excess chest strap in elastic keeper.
6.  Route leg straps around your legs, removing all twists and fasten B-12 snaps to their V-rings.
7.  Tighten leg straps evenly until they are snug but not uncomfortable and stow excess webbing

in elastic keepers.

8.

Tighten lower side back strap. The harness should now be fitted and snug.

9. Stow excess webbing of all adjustable straps.

2.2.2 Tandem Student Harness

Following the simple steps below will assure your students safety, and offer them a comfortable
Tandem Skydiving experience.

! WARNING !

The student harness must be donned and adjusted completely

while on the ground - NEVER in the airplane. Check and double-

check proper fit BEFORE boarding the aircraft. Once the student is

properly fitted, you should resist the urge to further tighten the

MLW in the airplane while the student is seated. Doing so may

inhibit the student’s ability to arch. Keep other minor adjustments

(such as rear diagonals) to an absolute minimum.

It’s All About the Student!
