Pockets of Cutaway/Reserve Handles

At the stage of designing the pockets initially were made as separate details. Comparing to a classic structure (where Cutaway/Reserve Handles are placed between the webbings of MLW) this may provide the following advantages:

1. To fix the position of both handles on the body of a parachutist to prevent their displacement (rolling up) in the case of harsh linetwist or serious overloads within spinning;

2. To prevent the ring squeezing out/dropping out for certain sizes (with small MLW);

3. To remove velcro out of the harness system where they may cause damage to it and to remove them to a separate element where they are accessible for service and repair.
