2.1.2- Connecting the reserve parachute to the harness
X-rated 7 is equipped with a dual bridle and two loops for parachutes with directional control with a double-riser bridle. There are three different systems
for attaching the parachutes to the harness, each of which applies to both right and left side installation:
First system (for non-steerable rescue parachute):
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 karabiner 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 opening accidentally. This type of connection can absorb a higher opening shock than the second system, and for this reason it is
the recommended system.
