ADJUSTING THE HARNESS TO THE SKYDIVER’S BODY
The Feniks system harness should be well-fitted to the skydiver’s/parachutist’s body before every jump, as follows:
•
The bottom of the container shall rest at the skydiver’s/parachutist’s waist level (vertical harness strap adjustment),
•
The chest strap shall be placed at chest level or slightly above (vertical harness strap adjustment),
•
The hip harness joint shall be placed at hip bone level (vertical harness strap adjustment),
•
The container shall rest close to the skydiver’s/parachutist’s back at waist level (horizontal harness strap adjustment),
•
The harness shall be adjusted for symmetry.
ATTENTION!
Excessively long vertical straps may cause the chest strap to move to the skydiver’s/parachutist’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.
