WARNING: When connecting the rescue bridle
be sure to secure the connection using tape,
rubber bands or heat shrink wrap. If the lines
are not secure they may burn or cut from
excess friction. Connecting the rescue bridle
To connect a rescue to your harness we recommend using a GIN Rescue Carabiner. If you choose
to use different type of connector, it should be rated at least 9 times the maximum weight. For
example, our recommended 8mm Stainless Steel screwgate maillon (square) connector has a
minimum breaking load of 28kN (2855 Kgf). It is the pilot’s responsibility to check the compatibility
of the rescue system and ensure that it is installed properly.
Be sure to inspect your connector during normal maintenance and safety checks. Replace it
whenever there any signs of wear and check your rescue system with a professional after any
deployment. We recommend that you cover the connection using the Maillon rapid cover to prevent
excess friction. Tape and/or rubber-bands should also be used to secure the attachment and prevent
excess friction.
