SAERBAG III
4.7 Anti rotation tag-line links
The rescue bag has 6 anti rotation tag-line links at the head,
sides and foot area of the rescue bag (see paragraph 3.3
Components
(Rescue bag)
, page 7).
Among the 6 links there are two top release systems on both
sides of the rescue bag in the foot area (Figure 40).
4.7.1 Top release systems
The two lateral release systems allow the operator to undo
the tag line at any time without a fuse system.
Figure 40 – Top release system
Both systems are positioned in the foot area (after the EARS
sails) on both sides of the rescue bag. They have a red
handle.
Each system has (Figure 41):
1. a red handle,
2. a green string,
3. a strap, with:
○
two differently-sized rings (a small one and a large
one) sewn on,
○
an eyelet in the strap
○
a white loop.
Prepare the top release system before use.
PREPARING THE SYSTEM
1. Position the connector between the two rings sewn onto the strap (Figure 42).
2. Flip the large ring over the small one so that the small ring is inside the large one and the connector is fixed between the two
rings (Figure 43).
