Billy 0 #1 March 9, 2005 Hey All, Just read the latest Incidents... and it made me think of where my handles are. I once borrowed gear to quick turn a jump. Under canopy I could hardly look down without choking because the chest strap was right there. So I ask you, where was my cutaway handle? In the plane and on the ground the handle was right where youd expect it to be, relative to my body. So I am now aware of where my handles are all the time. There in the exact same place, and I believe on every sport rig also. My cutaway pillow is just below the chest strap on the right main lift webbing. My silver handle is just below the chest strap on the left main lift webbing. On that borrowed rig jump, I found my handles easily by following the chest strap, both handles were almost above my shoulders... If I'd had to use my EP's, I doubt the handles woulda been where I'd expected them to be, but they woulda been right where theyd been placed on the harness. Just something to think about before safety day. Have a great season and jump safe! Natural Born FlyerZ.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
