10.3  Checking the bridle

Inspect the bridle for damage and abrasion, external wear and fraying!
Check for the presence of the certification label attached to the bridle line. Confirm the serial 
number and the Entry into Service date. Check that you don't exceed the maximum allowed service 
time of the reserve (see chapter 4.3). 
The SQR handgglider version has a swivel built into the bridle. Check the swivel for condition. If the 
swivel is bent, cracked, damaged or does not rotate freely, it 

must

 be changed by the manufacturer.

10.4  Checking the connector link or direct looping between reserve 

and harness/external container

Please refer to the chapter „6.5 Connecting the reserve to the harness/external container“

 

for de-

tailed information about the connection methods allowed between the reserve and the harness/
external container.
A metal connector link (quick link / Maillon Rapide) must be checked for its condition. If the link is 
deformed, cracked or damaged it MUST be replaced. Check if the link has sufficient strength (MBL 
of 2500kg), and that the connecting link is tightened according to the specification of the link man-
ufacturer. 
In the case of a direct loop-in-loop connection both harness connection line and reserve bridle 
must show no signs of slippage, friction, heating, fraying and melting.
After a reserve deployment or re-connection (e.g. packing), it is imperative that the connection 
between reserve and harness/external container to be re-checked!
