What is a "parachute harness"?
A parachute harness is a piece of equipment used by skydivers or parachutists to securely attach themselves to a parachute. It is made of strong webbing and is designed to distribute the force of the parachute's opening across the body. The harness consists of straps that go around the legs, waist, and shoulders, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. It is attached to the parachute's main container and other necessary equipment, such as the backup parachute. The harness is crucial for safety, providing support and control during the descent and landing.
