Advice Caution ! Danger !!
If you are reading those lines, it is because you are eager to enter and seat

A single reserve parachute connection kit ( riser set + 2 Maillons Rapides® ) is included with the harness due to many pilots
using Rogallo type reserve parachutes as their main rescue backup system. If you wish to install two round Apex type reserve
parachutes inside your harness, you will need to order a second riser set + Maillons Rapides® .
