2.2.1 Fit
Your Softie should be, above all else, comfortable. But, the real reason any pilot or passenger in an
aircraft is wearing a parachute is in case an emergency bailout becomes necessary. If that should
happen, the person using the parachute will reduce the risk of problems during egress and opening if
the harness is worn snugly around the body. Take the time to properly adjust the fit of your Softie
whether for yourself or for a less experienced passenger. The following steps should be taken to
insure proper fit.
