Page 24: Harness Adjustment
Harness Adjustment Harness Adjustment Before flying it is important to adjust the harness so that the passenger is secure, but their movements are not restricted and they can easily assume a sitting position when airborne. The harness can be adjusted in several places: the shoulder, chest, lateral and leg straps are all adjustable. We recommend a hang-check in a static swing before flying, to ensure the harness is optimally adjusted for the passenger’s comfort. -
Page 25: Use
Putting the harnes on The passenger should put the harness onto their shoulders. Fasten the leg buckles first, and then the chest strap. Push the leg straps down as far as possible towards the knees, and then tighten them (if the leg straps are too high, it is difficult to get into the harness after the take-off without using your hands). -
