Talon 2

When the lower control line brake setting loop is allowed to pass below the point on the velcro-less toggle where the control line is attached, or when the brake setting loop passes below the knot which forms the toggle attach loop in the lower control line the result can be a control brake which is difficult or impossible to release in flight. The condition is potentially dangerous when one brake is released while the other hangs up, especially on highly loaded canopies.

 In January, 2000, a pair of main risers was found in the field where the locking loops were not bartacked and consequently one of the loops pulled out, releasing the riser. Fortunately this did not result in any injury. These risers were relatively new and presumed to have been manufactured within the previous few months. At the time, we believed that this was an isolated occurrence but to preclude a re-occurrance of the problem, RI implemented an additional manufacturing inspection of the riser loop bartacks.
