gjhdiver 0 #51 March 30, 2005 QuoteQuoteTell you what, as we seem to be going round and round on this. Next time you're at the DZ, get two rigs on different jumpers, one with a round ring, and one with a flat ring. (Don't use a Wings, as the articulation is two point as you noticed.) Get the jumpers to tighten their legstraps and chest straps as ready to jump, then get them them to bend and touch their toes. Then go look at the respective delfections in the main lift web. You'll see what I'm talking about then.... I think what you're trying to say is that on say, a standard Infinity, Vector, Jav articulated harness with no chest rings, you'll see a buckle in the main lift web when you bend over, which is true. But you imply that if you change the ring, the buckle will go away, which it won't because what causes the buckle is the fact the MLW is sewn to the horizontal strap at a predetermined angle. Now, on my rig, my MLW is threaded through the slot on the ring, and my horizontal strap, and front and rear legstrap are threaded through the round portion of the ring. When I bend, you won't get a buckle in the MLW because it is not anchored to any other one strap. So, it is the style of junction that determines the articulation, not the style of the ring. Oh well, can't say I didn't try..... I guess all those years spent building harness/containers were wasted. I'll leave it up to the individual to determine the facts.

darrenspooner 0 #59 April 2, 2005 I bought the Odyssey last year. I didn't order the RSL, but it came with one anyway, which I'm very glad about, because last week I had a high-speed spinning mal and the RSL pulled my reserve pin after fighting my cutaway out.

spoons 0 #60 April 3, 2005 PhreeZone; they are different people as i live in a different country to the person who was posting. And it actually isn't a rumour just i didn't want to cause any bad feelings by saying anything. Never mind though - i know no rig is perfect but i'm happy with mine as i'm sure you are with yours ps - i'd be happy with either if they were new!
