3-RING RISERS
The CRUX 2 3-ring risers are the result of laboratory load testing and field testing by our R&D team
and Squirrel team jumpers.
Note that the CRUX 2 3-ring risers are “reverse”. When assembled, the rings will be facing the jumper.
Our mission for the CRUX 2 3-ring risers was to create the strongest, most durable, and most
dependable 3-ring risers available. The CRUX 2 3-ring risers have been load tested to more than
20 kN (per riser) in static and dynamic loads, which significantly exceeds industry norms for load
bearing capacity.
It is critical that the risers are properly assembled, used, and maintained. Failure to properly
assemble, use, or maintain the risers will result in increased risk of injury or death.
USE
The Double-Cable Configuration (pg. 6) can be used anytime the need for a cutaway after
landing is unlikely. The double-cable configuration increases load resistance and adds some
protection against accidental cutaway.
The Single-Cable Configuration (pg. 6) may be used where an emergency parachute cutaway
might be necessary (such as in the case of water landings).
The CRUX 2 3-ring riser system is NOT designed for skydiving. The double-cable configuration
must not be used under any circumstances in the skydiving environment.
The CRUX 2 3-ring riser system is NOT designed to be released under load. Do NOT cutaway
your parachute in flight. All parachute equipment has a failure point. Subjecting any risers or any
type of equipment to extreme or unusual loads may result in failure, serious injury, or death.
ASSEMBLY
Cutaway Handle
Ensure the cutaway cable is properly threaded
through the harness, and the handle is seated
firmly in place. See Maintenance for information
on maintaining the cable.
3-Rings
1. Holding the risers parallel to the harness ring, thread the middle ring (on riser) through the large
ring (on harness). Fold the middle ring back toward the riser.
2. Thread the small ring through the middle ring, ONLY.
3. Thread the white loop through the small ring ONLY, then through the riser grommet.
4. Then pass the white loop through the grommet on the cable housing. The flat side of the cable
housing should be against the riser.
