Chest strap adjustment
The chest strap adjusts the distance between the two karabiners, and it can be set
between 37 and 48 centimetres. When the chest strap is tighter, stability is
greater.
A wider distance does not improve glider performance, and a smaller distance can
accentuate the effects of a “twist” following an asymmetric collapse.
Each setting the harness must be done with mounted protector,
rescue system and be symmetrical on both sides.
Reserve parachute
The container for the reserve parachute is not
included in the standard harness. It is an optional
extra, and it should be positioned on the harness
attachment strap. The container is large enough for
most of the reserve parachutes available on the
market today. It is connected at two points (2), on
the two hook-in karabiners, in order to distribute
load and to ensure a correct landing position in the
case that the reserve parachute is deployed,
therefore reducing the possibility of injury to a
minimum.
The harness is supplied with a handle for
reserve parachute extraction; this handle alone
should be used for this purpose.
The black loop attached to the
handle itself should be passed
into the loop on the deployment
bag, and then the entire handle
should be passed through its own
loop and pulled tight. For easier
extraction, the loop attached to
the deployment bag should be
positioned to the centre of the
reserve parachute.
