Take-Off

Before flying, it is extremely important to adjust
the harness so that you can easily assume
the right position when airborne.
1. Put on the harness.
2. Fasten the leg buckles, and then the chest
strap buckle.
3. 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
one's hands).
4. If necessary, adjust the shoulder straps (the
shoulder strap adjustment depends on
the size of the pilot; not too tight as some free
movement is required so that you can run
easily).
5. Check that the lumbar straps are adjusted so
as to enable the preferred position in flight.
6. Check that the chest strap is pre-adjusted
correctly.
7. Ensure that the leg straps and the chest
strap buckles are fastened correctly (closing
the buckles improperly is a common cause
of accidents).

Landing

During the final approach move from the sitting
position to the upright position. This should be
done early enough to allow for sudden loss
of height on approach. There is a high risk
of spinal injury in the event of a seated landing.
Under no circumstances become complacent
about being equipped with effective back
protection.
