2.1.2 - Connecting the reserve parachute to the harness
There are three different methods of attaching the reserve parachute
bridle to the harness bridle.
First system:
Use a screw-lock karabiner with a breaking strength of at least 2,400
kg. In this case, the bridles should be held in position within the kara-
biner using elastic bands, to prevent the karabiner from rotating and
taking the strain laterally instead of vertically. The karabiner’s screw-
lock should be tightly screwed shut to avoid any possibility of it ope-
ning accidentally. This type of connection can absorb a higher opening
shock than the second system, and for this reason this is without doubt
the recommended system.
Second system:
The harness bridle should pass through the emergency parachute bri-
dle loop. Next, the emergency parachute should be passed through the
large loop of the harness bridle.
The result is a connection that should be tightened as much as possi-
ble so as to prevent dangerous friction between the two cables during
emergency opening shock. To prevent the union of the two cables from
loosening over time, remember to lock the knot with the special Velcro
strip, which has already been placed on the harness bridle
Third system:
If you are using a reserve parachute with a double-riser 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.
