It worked kind of like an early automobile seat belt buckle placed at your shoulders. In the late 1970's 4-6 airmen on my flight simulator maintenance crew decided to go out on weekends joining a skydiving club at the local civilian airport and learned to parachute. One Monday everyone in my crew was talking about how 1 airmen "had to take a RESERVE "Pin It")
The previous system was called a “Cape well” system. It worked kind of like an early automobile seat belt buckle placed at your shoulders. In the late 1970's 4-6 airmen on my flight simulator maintenance crew decided to go out on weekends joining a skydiving club at the local civilian airport and learned to parachute. One Monday everyone in my crew was talking about how 1 airmen "had to take a RESERVE RIDE" over the weekend. The airman named "Pete" told us all how his first parachute had become a "streamer" and he had to release it by "pulling his Cape Wells" before he could release his "belly pack". The first Cape Well released OK but the second took a little more work. Pete said it felt like it took a couple hours to get it released. He did get it released and quickly released his smaller "reserve" chute. The other airmen talked about Pete beating them to the ground.
