2.2.1- Connecting the deployment handle to the deployment bag
The front rescue container is supplied complete with the handle for parachute deployment, marked as n°13. Only this deployment handle should be used.
The black loop on the handle should be put through the loop attached to the deployment bag, and then the entire handle should be passed through the
handle’s loop in order to link the two. In this harness, to facilitate deployment, we recommend linking the handle to the loop situated in the central part of
the deployment bag. If your deployment bag does not have this loop, please contact your emergency parachute retailer.
2.2.2- Connecting the front emergency parachute to the harness
There are two methods for connecting the emergency parachute bridle to the harness risers:
First system (for non-steerable rescue parachutes):
Use a karabiner with a screw collar and a breaking strength of at least 2400 kg. In this case, the emergency parachute risers should be held in position within
the karabiner using elastic bands, to prevent the karabiner from rotating into a lateral position which could cause it to undergo a dangerous lateral stress in
the case of deployment. The screw collar should be tightened very firmly to prevent accidental opening. This type of connection can withstand a higher
shock on deployment than the second system, and it is without doubt the best system to use.
