As part of a cooperative project between the Federal Aviation Administration's Civil Aeromedical Institute, the Parachute Industries Association, and the United States Parachute Association, a series of dynamic impact sled tests were performed to evaluate new types of restraint systems for sport parachutists. The traditional means of restraining sport parachutists sitting aft-facing on the floor has been to provide lap belts that are attached to the floor or sidewall of the airplane. The restraint systems evaluated in this project were designed to route through the parachute harness and attach to the floor. Thus, occupant restraint was provided by anchoring the parachute harness to the floor by means of the new restraint devices. Seven methods of attaching the restraints to the parachute harness, which included both single and dual point restraint systems, were dynamically tested.
