2.2 Safety
With the CONNECT Light, pilot safety is ensured by the optimum hang point and use of the CYGNUS Airbag,
combined with a 3cm thick high density foam protector. The hang point has been selected in such a way that it
gives the pilot maximum feedback, but without conveying a “jittery” impression.
The CYGNUS Airbag System is firmly attached to the harness and inflates by dynamic pressure during launch.
The Mylar-ring plate integrated in the base of the harness means that the airbag is partially inflated even before
launch. The partial inflation, together with the 3cm thick high density foam protector, ensure good protection
even at the start of the launch procedure.
2.3 Speed
system
The CONNECT Light is designed for use with a speed bar. The pulley necessary for this is optimally positioned
to ensure perfect load transfer. The cord inside the harness ensures energy-saving and efficient use of the
speed bar.
3 THE RESERVE SYSTEM
There is an appropriately-sized container underneath the seat of the CONNECT Light for a reserve system to be
carried. This is closed using a system of flaps and by the deployment handle pins. This gives the reserve
system good protection against dirt and moisture, and against accidental deployment. If your harness should get
wet (e.g. you land in water), the reserve system must be dried out and repacked before your next flight. Only the
deployment handle provided should be used for the CONNECT Light container.
WARNING!
No other deployment handle should be used!
The handle must be fastened using its loop to the inner container of the reserve. Contact the manufacturer of
the reserve if the inner container does not have an attachment loop.
Before it is fitted, the reserve is attached to the CONNECT Light using the bridle. This is designed as a V-bridle
which is attached to the shoulder straps of the CONNECT Light. If there is an emergency deployment, this
ensures that the force of the reserve goes into the harness. The hang point on the shoulder straps results in a
pilot position which will minimise injury if a landing is made using the reserve.
3.1 Fitting the reserve
The reserve is fitted as described below:
3.1.1
Fitting the bridle:
the connection line is placed through the reserve system's riser. The reserve system is then
put through the loop which is tightened and must be secure around the riser. If the reserve system has two main
lines, both lines must be fed into the bridle.
