Ground Training Hanging Harness
Practice emergency procedures on the ground—before they matter in the air.
The PLABS Ground Training Hanging Harness gives drop zones and AFF instructors a practical way to teach and rehearse emergency procedures in a controlled training environment.
Featuring seven points of adjustment, the harness is fully adjustable to accommodate students of virtually any size. This allows drop zones to use one dedicated training system with a wide range of AFF students.
While suspended in the harness, students can practice locating and operating their emergency handles while experiencing the body position and restricted movement associated with wearing a parachute system. The training configuration allows the student to perform a simulated cutaway while a secondary retention system keeps them attached to the hanging apparatus.
Ideal For:
Accelerated Freefall courses
First-jump and student refresher training
Cutaway and reserve-procedure practice
Harness and handle familiarization
Emergency-procedure evaluations
Drop zone training programs
Repeated, realistic practice helps students develop confidence, improve handle awareness and reinforce the correct emergency-procedure sequence before their first AFF jump.
