RESERVE P/C WRONG GROMMET SETTING

[RIGGER 0]

This is a PDF "Quick 3" Reserve p/c that has been repaired by a Rigger.
The repair was setting a new grommet on the p/c base.

The "Quick 3" have a #2 Spur Brass grommet & washer at the base & the closing loop pass through it.

In the inside there is a piece of round leather which is between the p/c base fabric & the washer.

The "Rigger" who did the work did it WRONG !!! Why ?
1.Use a FLAT brass grommet & washer.
2.Put the leather outside.
3.Split the grommet when set, ripping the metal & creating SHARP edges & slots which could snag & catch the closing loop.

The rig was packed by few riggers & no one stop it.

Riggers, please DO NOT perform any repair if you do not have the Skill, Knowledge & the tools to do it right.

Riggers, take care about the rigging work you do.

Safe Rigging !!!

At the risk of being called a pedant or grammar nazi or something like this, I would like to point out that some of the numbered list here is ambiguous. A reader who conducts a thorough reading or your post, inspection of the attached pictures, and has prior field knowledge can figure out what you mean, but by itself each numbered item is a sentence without a subject and as a result it's ambiguous whether each sentence is equivalent to starting with "the rigger's work I saw was wrong because he had ..." or "when doing this repair you should always ...".

With technical information on life-saving equipment, I'm a big fan of writing things so they cannot be accidentally interpreted exactly the opposite of the intended way.
