2.2.2- Connecting the reserve parachute to the harness
There are three different methods of attaching the reserve parachute bridle to the harness bridle.
First system (for non-pilot-controlled parachutes):
Use a screw-lock karabiner with a breaking strength of at least 2,400 kg. In this case, the bridles should be held in position within the karabiner using elastic
bands, to prevent the karabiner from rotating and taking the strain laterally instead of vertically. The karabiner’s screw-lock should be tightly screwed shut
to avoid any possibility of it opening accidentally. This type of connection can absorb a higher opening shock than the second system, and for this reason
this is without doubt the recommended system.
Second system (for non-pilot-controlled parachutes):
The emergency bridle should pass through the harness bridle loop. Next, the emergency parachute should be passed through the large loop of the
emergency parachute bridle. The result is a connection that should be tightened as much as possible so as to prevent dangerous friction between the two
cables during emergency opening shock.
