BASE813 0 #26 August 27, 2004 QuoteHey check out the Gargoyle page on the Morpheus site. http://www.baserigs.com/gargoyle.html Is that a belly reserve on the front of the jumper in the "high speed" picture? Could you take something like that? thats what was being said?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilivan 0 #27 August 27, 2004 QuoteQuoteunless you modified your harness I guess. Eh? Well it would have to be modified with "tertiary" rings, to attach the belly mount to. Suppose I should have been a little clearer.... It says "common harness", so I was imagining that wearing a separate harness to accomodate the belly mount would not meet the requirements."If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation."

cpoxon 0 #29 August 27, 2004 QuotePerigee II's are available with tertiary rings for exactly this purpose. Yes, I know, I've got one! I've never used them. I bought the container second hand and they were already fitted. Thinking about it, how would they be used? Is there any lateral connection? I remember when I started out on static-line rounds with front and back kit 1 2 the belly mount clipped laterally to rings on the harness very similar to how a tandem student harness is laterally attached to the instructors container. When a reserve is clipped on to a BASE rig, is it secured laterally? Some sort of strap?Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pattersd 0 #30 August 27, 2004 I have jumped my Perigee Pro with a belly mount reserve hooked into the Pro's harness. There are loops on the harness which you can put a set of separable D-rings (they have a two straight bars making a slot and then a cuved bar forming the area you hook the reserve into, they came apart by screws parallel to the straight bars) through and then the lower hooks on the reserve were hooked into the hip rings. We checked that if I deployed the reserve that the attachment points were in location that would keep me upright in my harness. This set up is not 'legal' to jump out of an aircraft in the US, since the harness is not TSO'd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
