After each installation of a rescue chute in a frontcontainer a compatibility test is necessary. In order to do that, hang the harness,
e uipped as ready for flight. Seat down in the harness and assume your usual position in flight. Grab the frontcontainer release
handle and pull it to the side in a resolute effort, so that the parachute is completely out of the container. Still, do not throw it away,
so that the bag remains closed. If the trial was successful, put the rescue chute back into the frontcontainer.
