claudiasdad Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Ok...need your comments please... Just finished building a three point harness to strap my fat butt into my buggy…gonna try and get it and me of the ground. The straps are from a Draper ratchet strap thing and are rated to 2000kg. The 'Chicken loop' is made from highly polished steel and pulls out easily from the central D link even when under a lot of load.... The lap straps go thru the seat, under the axle and back over to the glued and stitched Velcro. I cannot pull the Velcro apart latterly. Never jumped before and not sure if this is gonna work...pretty sure it will...but would welcome some polite responses.... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 not too sure about the realease (if your happy about it working then fine) otherwise it looks good, i personally would get in the buggy and deliberately roll it over (no kite) the push yourself against the harness as hard as possible and pull the release to test it! when i first tried my harness i got the kite powered up and before i started rolling in the buggy...pulled the release, made sure i was light in the seat with a small redirect as if i was going airbourne and tried it again!

Active-8 Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 i cant see it very well but if not then it might be worth putting a elastic band around one end to stop you knocking it out with your knee. just a trought thats all.
