Connecting the rescue bridles to the harness webbing
When you attach the rescue bridles to the harness webbing, a Maillon Rapid type 7mm
Stainless Steel carre (square) is recommended. But in any case, the connector should be rated at
least 9 times the maximum weight. Our recommended 7mm connector for example has a minimum
breaking load of 3125kg and an EN certificate of conformity.
Use rubber bands, tape or plastic heat shrink tube to hold the maillon in place. Avoid webbing
to webbing connections, as there is a danger of getting the knot the wrong way round. This
significantly weakens the connection and also makes it difficult to disconnect the rescue parachute
if you land in trees.
