Third system (for pilot-controlled or non-pilot-controlled parachutes with double bridle):
If you are using a reserve parachute with a dual bridle, it can be connected to the harness using the two loops positioned at the base of the harness bridle,
near the padded shoulder straps.
In this case, the harness’s reserve parachute bridle will not be used, and so it should be folded, fastened using two elastic bands, and positioned under the
cover behind the pilot’s neck.
The two connections should be made using screw-lock karabiners with a breaking strength of at least 1,400 kg. It is important to verify that the length of the
bridle is sufficient to position the reserve parachute inside the harness pocket, and that there is sufficient play to enable the parachute to be taken out of
the pocket without causing the reserve parachute deployment bag itself to open during extraction.
CAUTION:
- To prevent abnormal side loads, the cable is hooked to both loops on their respective shoulder-straps. Not only to one of the two.
