Harness influence
Tests have shown that the harness,
harness adjustment and the pilot
’s
position in the harness have a
noticeable effect on a glider’s flight
behaviour, so too using reserves in
front containers.
This means that the flight behaviour in
the particular paraglider-harness
combination selected by the pilot can
differ significantly from that
documented in the certification test
report.
The illustration below shows the
influence different harness geometries
have on flight behaviour.
Bear in mind your own personal
preferences when choosing a harness.
