2- BEFORE USING
2.1- Emergency parachute
The housing for the reserve parachute is below the seat in the front part of
the harness. The container is large enough for most reserve parachutes on
the market today. The reserve parachute has to be linked to the harness be-
fore it is inserted into the built-in pocket. This connection takes the form of
a dual bridle fixed to the harness at shoulder height, for better load distri
-
bution and to ensure a correct landing position in the case that the reserve
parachute is deployed. This helps reduce the risk of injury to a minimum.
The reserve chute bridle has a large central loop coloured red, and this is
reinforced with a cover in Cordura 500. At the extremity of the loop, there is
a Velcro band which enables the link with the reserve parachute to be held
firmly in position.
2.1.1- Connecting the deployment handle to the deployment bag
WANì 3 is supplied with a handle for reserve parachute extraction. It is iden-
tified with the number 20; this handle alone should be used for this purpose.
The black loop attached to the handle itself should be passed into the loop
on the deployment bag, and then the entire handle should be passed throu-
gh its own loop and pulled tight. For easier extraction, the loop attached
to the deployment bag has to be positioned laterally with respect to the
centre of the reserve parachute. If your deployment bag does not have this
loop, please contact the retailer from whom you purchased the reserve pa-
rachute.
