•
The harness shall be adjusted for symmetry.
ATTENTION!
Excessively long vertical straps may cause the chest strap to move to the skydiver’s/ ’s neck and chin level upon parachute
deployment, with difficult steering toggle access.
Excessively short vertical straps may prevent the skydiver from assuming the correct body position in freefall.
When fastening and adjusting the chest and leg straps, remember:
•
Thread all straps through buckles correctly,
•
The chest strap should not squeeze vertical harness straps inwards,
•
Leg straps should be adjusted symmetrically – you should be able to ease a hand under the strap,
•
Excess straps should be properly secured to prevent their slide-out and flutter in freefall.
ATTENTION!
Before every jump, make sure that you can reach all handles easily and that you will be able to use them as intended during
your skydive. If you cannot reach your handles or if the harness is too big or too small for you, refrain from skydiving.
