shoulder blades.  See figure 2.

6.

tied- off, the leg straps may be unfastened and stashed in the 
inner pouch in the back of the vest.  See figure 4. 
 

Warning:  Never attempt to tie-off with the leg straps 
stashed.  Always ensure that all straps are fastened and 
properly adjusted prior to tying off.  Failure to do so may 
result in serious injury or death.
