2.1.2- Connecting the reserve parachute to the harness
There are three different methods of attaching the reserve parachute bri-
dle to the harness bridle.
First system: (suitable for NON-steerable 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.
Second system: (suitable for NON-steerable parachutes)
The reserve parachute bridle is passed through the loop at the end of the
harness reserve parachute bridle. The reserve parachute itself is then pas-
sed through the large loop in the reserve parachute bridle. This connects
the two bridles. The loops should be pulled as tight as possible to avoid
any chance of dangerous friction developing between the two bridles du-
ring the shock caused when the reserve parachute opens. To ensure that
the link between the two bridles remains tight, remember to fasten the
knot using the Velcro strip on the harness reserve parachute bridle.
