When you attach the rescue bridles to the harness webbing, a Maillon Rapid type 7mm Stainless
Steel carre (square) is recommended. But in any case, the connector should be rated at least 9
times the maximum weight, for example, a 7mm, 3125kg stainless connector that has an EN
certificate of conformity.
The Maillon should be held in place with rubber bands, tape or plastic heat shrink tube. Webbing
to webbing connections are not recommended, due to the danger of getting the knot the wrong
way round, which significantly weakens the connection and also difficult to disconnect the
rescue parachute if you land in trees.
Attaching rescue deployment bag to the harness deployment handle
The rescue container of the Gingo Airlite comes with its own deployment handle. This handle
and its strap must be connected to the deployment bag of the parachute. If your parachute’s
deployment bag does not have the proper loop, please contact your parachute dealer or a
qualified professional to attach the deployment handle by sewing it or adding a new loop in the
correct position on the deployment bag.
