airdvr 210 #1 June 21, 2011 QuoteUnited Parachute Technologies (UPT) has issued a reminder for all tandem instructors to review tandem harness adjustment procedures and ensure that all tandem students are fitted properly into the tandem harness. The reminder has been issued following a close call in which a woman nearly came out of a poorly adjusted harness that was left very loose in an effort to make her more comfortable. The student harness was equipped with a Y-strap, which apparently played an important role in keeping her in the harness after the main canopy was deployed. This notice is actually a terrific reminder to every tandem instructor, regardless of the type of tandem equipment used for the jump. The reminder notice is available on UPT’s website. http://www.uspa.org/NewsEvents/News/tabid/59/Default.aspx#22321 Almost a repeat of the incident a few years back. Looks like the fix worked. Too bad the fix was necessary.Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
