old Pacific Airwave harness usability

Post by John Matylonek »

I have an old pacific airwave harness for a tall person 6 ft 3". It has a parachute container as pictured. Can this harness still be loaded with s parachute?

more interesting, what has you ask the question? are you doubtful of the harness' safety?

the answer is yes unless something else unknown in your post comes up.

The mains are continuous with the leg straps and need a simple upgrade to wider webbing to make it as strong as any harness. But the fact is even this webbing is as strong the main hang strap in a hang loop minus the backup.
