The right leg strap is reversed.
In other words, the friction adapter (buckle) is on the back of her leg when it should be on the front.

I don't see that, just a loose back/lumbar strap. Looks like the leg straps are correct.

Hi
As a RWS/UPT Tandem I/E I see here a Tandem Instructor that should go back to ground school !!!
I see here a DZO that should start worry about the safety of the public he is serving.
Safe Tandem Jumps !!!

Ho hum!
You are correct.
Mind you, if the lumbar strap is so far out of adjustment that it looks more like a leg strap ....

1) Like many have said... The lumbar / back strap (forgive me if I use the wrong word, not a TI), is way way too loose.
2) She has way too many clothes on. (J/K) 
3) But serioulsy... forgive my ignorance, but is the "Y-mod" to the student harness really "mandatory"?

...guess what: they boarded and jumped like this ...
Holy Crap Batman! They jumped like that!!??
Anyway, I surfed over to Strong's website (as it appears to be a Strong Dual Hawk Tandem harness in question) and if I read SB #24 correctly... and press release circa November 1, 2006... it doesn't look like its mandatory... if it is, what am I missing?? OBTW... I'm not saying its a bad idea. It looks like all new Strong Tandem (student) Harnesses are being built with the Y-mod and all existing harnesses sans Y-mod are getting it when they cycle through the factory regardless.

I just hope that the final check before the boarding was not complete yet. Look like an instructor is checking the front. Otherwise I agree with Rigger 100%.

Okay, do Sigma harnesses get a Y-mod too or something like it... thought that was just on Strong's??

Sigma harness don't have the Y mod. But in each and every Sigma owner manual there is a section on the student harness adjustement guide. The same thing can be found on UPT web site. Every new instructor should receive that manual from his examiner during his course. How to adjust the passenger harness is a very important part of my course when I teach to a new TI. He have to dress a lot of different size passenger during his course before I let him go. It is not harder and it doesn't take more time to do it well but they have to be teach the right way first.

even in a slow forum like "instructors" i am happy this thread hasn't vanished within three days 
i have received requests to reveal the T-IE's identity, so things could be "made clear" and "errors could be explained in a thorough way".
Good intentions are appreciated, but i seriously doubt, that a message from a u.s. T-IE to a T-IE in czech republic, speaking only very little english, would be of any use, if not counter-productive. maybe if bill booth spoke up himself, but even then...
edit: it's a sigma harness/system
The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle

If it would save a life maybe it is worth trying. I hardly believe it would be counter productive...

It is UPT Sigma student harness.
This gap in the back is critical.

Both the T I/E & his in training TI should go back to ground school.
The market have a lot of low level TI but also many
well trained TI.
It is too easy today being a TI, the spec. are too low !!!
TI = 1 person skydiving Captain.
