Page 8Morpheus Technologies
Morpheus Technologies is proud to announce the release of the Genesis Velcro closed B.A.S.E container.
Inspired by the development of the predominantly slider down OSP canopy made by Atair and the
demands of slider down jumping, Morpheus felt the need to revisit what was once themost popular design
of B.A.S.E container.
The key benefit of Velcro closedcontainers over any other design comes into playwhen jumping with a
hand held pilot chute. The Genesis is equipped with a Triple Function Shrivel Flap, TFSF which allows the
jumper to configure the shrivel flap in a bidirectional way.
•What this means is that when a jumper is deploying from a stowed position, the shrivel flap is placed
in its traditional direction with the bridle coming out from the bottom of the shrivel flap.
•When a jumper is deploying from a hand held position, the shrivel flap is configured upside down so
that the bridle is coming from the top of the shrivel flap which creates the shortest distance from the
shrivel flap to the pilot chute in hand allowing for the least amount of exposed bridle. This
configuration helps reduce the opportunity for the bridle to snag on the cornerof the container
when at an exit point with the wind on your back.
•The side tuck pocketsthat keep the shrivel flap/bridle in a cleanmanner for a stowed jump can be
teased out and act as a primer for the Velcro for low freefalls. Hence the triple function.
The Genesis container is designed to be very packer friendly and will fit all B.A.S.E specific canopies.
It features a snag resistant shrivel flap that tucks into the top flap of the container. This allows air to flow
cleanly over the topof the container, helping to ensure that the shrivel flap is not prematurely stripped
away during high-speed free fall. This design has also been proven to help prevent the potential of
snagging whilst maneuvering in tight areas.
standard features options order
The distinct design of the pack tray and side flaps makes packing easier, as it holds its shape well when
placing the canopy in the tray. Also, the corners at the bottom of the container are not enclosed, giving
the canopy the maximum opportunity for an on heading deployment when traveling forward at high
airspeeds.
The Genesis features a continuous harness system made up of type 7 and type 8 webbing, ensuring
exceptional strength atevery juncture. The uniquely shaped yoke is designed to tailor fit the shoulders,
promoting maximum flexibility and comfort.
Packing the Genesis
Before placing the canopy into the container, read this manual through from cover to
cover. If there is any element that you do not understand please do not hesitate in
contacting us or contact a qualified rigger to assist you in assembly and packing.

Figure 1: Follow the canopy manufacturer’s instructions for packing the canopy until it
resembles the figure above. Fold the top flap and the yoke area under the container.
(This fold is also used at a later stage as a guide to determine where to fold the canopy.)
Tuck the bottom flap under the container, as well.
Figure 2
Figure 2: Grasp the canopy and the Tail Pocket so as not to disturb the stowed lines and
slide the cocooned canopy over and into the pack tray ensuring the risers don’t get
twisted. Lay the tail pocket and canopy flat on the bottom of the pack tray with the rear
risers toward the inside. If you have Big Grab toggles, just have them face each other in
the pack tray. Position the canopy squarely and ensure that the tail pocket fills the
bottom corners of the pack tray.

Figure 3: Fold the canopy back on itself toward the bottom of the container. Use the
warning label arrows as a guide to determine where to make the fold. Whilst keeping
control of the canopy find the three nose cells on one side and tease them out of the
pack job. Now fold them inward (2 folds) toward the center of the pack job. Do the same
on the other side. Find the center cell and tease it out of the pack job. Be certain that it
stays exposed.
Figure 4
Figure 4: Fold the remainder of the canopy toward the top of the container, using the
bottom of the pack tray as a guide. (Be sure to fill bottom of pack tray.) This should put
the top of the canopy approximately in the center of the container. Be certain that the
center cell remains exposed.

Figure 5
Figure 5: Clear the bottom and top flaps from under the container and place them over
the canopy, assuring the bridle and shrivel flap are exiting from the top right. Mate the
Velcro on the top and bottom flap with the shrivel flap, ensuring that the slotted end of
the shrivel flap is at the top of the container near the canopy and the squared off end is
at the bottom of the container where the pilot chute and bridle are stored. The bridle
should pass to the right side of the top Velcro flap.
Figure 6
Figure 6: Keeping the canopy tidy, grasp either side flap and pull it toward the shrivel flap
while working the canopy into the container. Align the Velcro of the side flap so that it is
even with the tuck portion of the top flap. Mate the Velcro of the side flap and the
coordinating side of the shrivel flap. Repeat this process for the opposite side. Tuck any
remaining bridle at the top of the container under the right side between side and top
flap.

Figure 7
Figure 7: Lightly pull on the bottom of the shrivel flap bridle, ensuring the top of the shrivel
flap begins to peel away from the container. If it does not, STOP immediately and inspect
the assembly. Close the riser covers and tuck the top of the shrivel flap into the tuck at
the top of the container. Dress the container. It helps to put the rig on your back and rock
backwards on the floor to compress the pack job. Be sure that Velcro is mated properly
first. Proceed to the pilot chute section and follow instructions according to the type of
deployment system that you wish to use.

Section 3:Packing the Gargoyle Twin, dual pin container:

Morpheus Technologies Owner’s Manual

Page 14 Morpheus Technologies
The Gargoyle Twin Container
The Gargoyle Twin is a two-pin BASE specific container that features a “no tension” pin
protector flap. This flap is designed to open cleanly and quickly at low airspeeds, yet has
been thoroughly tested at terminal and withstands the performance of radical freefly
manoeuvres
The Gargoyle does not have enclosed corners at the base of the container. This ensures
the opportunity for optimum, on heading deployment. It’s streamline design and curved
yoke contours to the user’s body shape and length, allowing for maximum comfort and
flexibility. It comes standard with a complete bridle protection pocket and features a
continuous harness system made of type 7 and type 8 webbing. This assures maximum
strength at crucial junctures. The Gargoyle Twin can be ordered with Style, Stealth or
Streamlined Stealth riser covers.
Through observation and discussions with locals at several popular wingsuit cliff sites, we
saw a need to improve upon container opening characteristics during wingsuit
deployments. Hence the development of “Dynamic Corners”. This design allows the tray
to open fully, leaving no edges for the canopy or tail pocket to snag during high-speed
horizontal deployments.
The Gargoyle can also be ordered with an optional lower articulated harness. This,
combined with contoured legpads allow for a complete un-constricting range of motion
and comfort. The features are extremely useful whether jumping flat and stable or
performing any of today’s aerial manoeuvres.

Figure 5
Figure 5: Clear the top flap from under the container and place it over the canopy. Bring
the left side flap over and feed the pull-up cord through the top closing loop located on
the top flap. Feed the pull-up cord through the top left grommet and then through the
top right grommet. Be certain that the bridle exits between the top flap and the right
flap.
Figure 6
Figure 6: Place the pin that is closest to the canopy through the loop. Clear the bottom
flap from under the container and bring it up over the canopy. Feed the pull-up cord
through the bottom closing loop located on the bottom flap, then through the bottom
left grommet and finally through the bottom right grommet. Ensuring that the bridle is not
twisted, place the remaining pin (pin that is closest to the pilot chute) through the closing
loop.
It is very important that the closing loops on the Gargoyle Twin do not exceed 3/4” in
length. A small drop of Super Glue placed on the closing loop knot can help reduce
slipping over time.

Figure 7a: Top closing loop Figure 7b: Bottom closing loop
Figure 7a and 7b: Take special care when threading the pins through the closing loops.
Ensure that you do not twist the closing loops and pass the pin through loop from left to
right so the pin shape resembles the arch of a bridge, with the end of the pin passing
under the right stiffener (therefore reducing the risk of the pin being pushed out). The
bridle should remain straight and not twisted, the bridle below the bottom pin should be
tucked under the right side flap and then fed in to the bridle protector flap.

Note: Alternate Bridle Routing: Recently jumpers in the field have started threading the
bridle out of the middle of the container (in between the two pins) rather than out of the
top as shown in figure 9. Morpheus Technologies sees no advantage or difference to
using this bridle routing. It is personal preference to which of these two possibilities you
choose. Just ensure the instructions for figure 7 regarding pin insertion and the bridle
position are always followed.
