bbl 0 #1 March 26, 2009 I was wondering what you use are your DZ for your AFF hanging harness cutaway system? Do you have them hanging or do you just do the procedures on the ground? Can you post your pictures to show the differences or similarities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #4 March 26, 2009 Hanging harness in action from Safety Day attached... We also use vests with all the handles, which is a lot quicker for repetitive practice. But everybody gets in the hanging harness for a little more realism. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #9 April 13, 2009 Either his practice paid off, or he really needed more... Same guy, last friday... It was his 7th cutaway, by the way. I think he can do it with his eyes closed just fine now. Although I'm not sure you can count this as a cutaway, since the main never left. All he needs now is packing training.

pilotdave 0 #11 April 13, 2009 A brake line caught on the webbing that the closing loop attaches to (on a javelin). Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 558 #13 April 23, 2009 I thought we solved that problem with "Grommet Mania 2000." Grommet Mania 2000 started with James Martin dying in Perris with a suspension line snagged on a loose grommet in a Reflex. A month later a German suffered the same malfunction - and same fate - in Eloy. Tell his rigger to go re-read SP SB 03032000 Revision B. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #14 April 23, 2009 This wasn't a grommet problem. Rig was a fairly new javelin. The grommet is very well protected. It was probably caused by sloppy packing, allowing a line to get over the webbing that holds the closing loop. The line wrapped the webbing and cinched it down.

shropshire 0 #15 April 23, 2009 Ouch ... would a triangular closing loop webing have solved that? (.)Y(.) Chivalry is not dead; it only sleeps for want of work to do. - Jerome K Jerome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #16 April 24, 2009 A triangular loop anchor might help, but I still think the best loop anchor is found in Wings, because it is sewn to the reserve container across both the top and bottom ends, making it almost impossible to snag a line.

shropshire 0 #17 April 24, 2009 Thanks RiggerRob... excuse me for drapping this out (!) - I think that I understand what you mean, but do you have a picture that you could share please? (.)Y(.)

That's why I far prefer the closing loop to be mounted in the bottom flap.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

darthur2000 0 #19 April 24, 2009 The closing loop had a bunch of knots in it so there was a little bulge and that's all it took to snag the line and hold it (the parapac had friction burns on it so you could see where the line was). And yes, there's pictures around somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
