"Am I Qualified to Use this Equipment?"
As the new owner of a Rigging Innovations, Inc.
Telesis 2
parachute system, before you use it, it is
very important that you can answer yes to several questions. Only by doing so can you be assured that you
have the necessary training and/or experience to safely utilize modern parachute equipment of this type.
Question 1:
Does my experience level and/or training qualify me for using this equipment?
Advanced equipment such as the
Telesis 2
have features requiring a certain level of
experience and training in order to be used safely.
Question 2:
Have I been briefed or trained in the operation of this equipment by qualified personnel
such as an Instructor or licensed Rigger?
If you have progressed to the level where you are qualified to jump advanced equipment, or
if you have been trained on other types, there may be certain features of this system that you
are unfamiliar with. Make sure that you have received a thorough briefing from a certified
Instructor or Rigger for the type of equipment you are about to jump.
Question 3:
Does the equipment fit properly?
Can you see and/or reach the main deployment handle, 3-ring release handle, reserve
ripcord and RSL? This equipment is built in a variety of container sizes, lengths, and
widths, and an adjustable harness. These configurations along with options such as BOC
main deployment, make compatible sizing to the individual extremely important to the safe
operation of the system. If the system does not fit properly, the handles may be inaccessible
or may move during the jump thereby causing problems in the air.
The above questions have dealt with your ability to safely jump this
RIGGING INNOVATIONS
product only. If you have answered "Yes" to all the questions, you should feel comfortable using our
equipment. However, there are additional factors that may influence your decision and ability that do not
relate to our product. If you have any questions or feel uneasy about using this harness and container
system, do not hesitate to ask a qualified Parachute Instructor, FAA Certified Parachute Rigger, or contact
Rigging Innovations at 520-466-2655 for any further information or training you feel necessary.
