Safety
T-lock
The Connect Reverse Evo is fitted with a T-
lock safety system to prevent the pilot from
slipping out of the harness by inadvertently
forgetting to do up the leg straps.
The buckle to do up the chest strap is
attached to the leg strap so that, by doing up
the chest strap, there is already some
protection against falling out. This also
makes it less likely to forget the leg straps.

Protector
With the Connect Reverse Evo, the optimum
hang point and the particular design of the
airbag ensure pilot safety right from the time
you launch. The Connect Reverse Evo has a
multi-chamber airbag protector. A titanium
foam hybrid design pre-inflates the chamber
under the seat from the time the harness is
converted. The LTF protector test was
carried out in this state without inflow. During
flight, air enters the protector through the
vent on the front of the airbag and continues
to inflate the chambers. The back is inflated
through eyelets between the main airbag
and the rear pocket. There is full protection
for the
pilot’s back and seat area shortly after
launch.
TIP
The system becomes active even before
launch by the use of special foam
materials. However, as the airbag gets
compressed in the backpack, we
recommend using a control handle to assist
airbag inflation. The airstream makes the
airbag unfold completely and it then quickly
attains its full protective effect.

Reserve container
The Connect Reverse Evo has a generously
sized reserve container.
It offers a secure place for small reserves as
well as enough space for large or steerable
reserves.
The reserve container is a semi-tube
container which, combined with the ideally
located deployment handle, ensures safe
deployment.
