7 CONNECT THE RESERVE CHUTE TO THE HARNESS
To connect the reserve chute to the V-line, you must use an oval screw shackle with
at least 2400 daN breaking load. The lines have to be secured on both sides of the screw
shackle with rubber bands by means of Larks Head knot
(1),
with fixing tape or a
neoprene socket against fraying and abrasion.
As an alternative, you can directly connect the bridle and the V-line
(2)
.
It is important to ensure that the connection is centered, both connecting lines that
lead to the shoulder are of the same length. If the harness does not have an integrated
attachment possibility for the reserve chute on the shoulder straps, then the reserve
chute connecting line can also be attached to both main carabiners.
For removal proceed in reverse order.
