Low hanging passengers

Recommended Posts

Proper passenger harness adjustment is not a question that can be answered on the internet. Your profile says that you're a TI. You should know the answer. If you're a new TI, if you don't know the answer, you should ask the TIE's that are supposed to train you how to properly adjust the harness. Ask experienced TI's whom you respect, whose students 'hang' properly. Get that question properly answered before you do your next tandem. Students hanging too low is because stuff is too loose. Stuff being too loose is how people fell out. The Y strap addresses that, and I'm not saying that they're bad, but they should never have been necessary. (Or maybe they should have been there all along.)

You can do your own assessment while under canopy. If you need cheaters to loosen the lower lateral connectors you’re doing it all wrong.
