Conduct a thorough pre-flight check before each takeoff.
After a thorough weather conditions analysis, when the decision to fly has been taken, fit into the harness :
•
Fasten the buckles (thigh straps, safe-T-bar and ventral buckles) with application.
•
Be absolutely certain that there is not a line or other object in contact with or caught in the reserve parachute handle.
•
Check the harness and Biners integrity.
•
Check that the (optionnal) front parachute pocket is correctly closed.
•
Check that your harness adjustments have not changed.
•
Check the connexion risers / harness as well as the self-locking Biners ( locked and secured ).
•
Check your speed-bar system if your harness is equipped with one.
•
Make certain to close all buckles, pockets and especially the Air-Bag zipper with its locking mechanism.
•
Double check that all buckles are fully locked and secured by pulling firmly on them. Check that no line, tab or cloth
is stuck / jammed in the buckles.
