or Restraint applications only. Shoulder D-rings are for Rescue or Retrieval applications only. The front Sternal D-ring is
for Ladder Climbing or Positioning. D-rings on a Suspension Seat are for Suspension or Positioning applications only. (See
Section 1.1.).
3.9 MAKING CONNECTIONS: When using a hook to connect to an anchorage or when coupling components of the system
together, ensure roll-out cannot occur. Roll-out occurs when interference between the hook and mating connector causes
the hook gate to unintentionally open and release. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners should be used to reduce the
possibility of roll-out. Do not use hooks or connectors that will not completely close over the attachment object. See
subsystem manufacturer’s instructions for more information on making connections.
3.10 CONNECTING SYSTEM COMPONENTS: After fitting the Delta Harness, the user may then connect to other system
components. Follow the guidelines in Section 2 and the manufacturer’s instructions included with the component.
