paragliding harness

"The morning brought on the usual cycle of sled runs. Get to the top
of the ridge, unfold the paraglider, wait. The inbound cycles were
light enough for forward inflations. The real jazz came in the
early afternoon. Moderate inbound cycle, reverse inflation, spin to the
right and launch. Except... one minute and two passes in front of the
ridge netted a 600 foot gain. Cool, text-book cloud suck! Prefrontal
air masses rule!
The sound of crunching paper; a quick look up reveals a 30% asymmetrical
collapse. Lean right, crank the left control line down. Bang, the
canopy flies again. Lift is good..."
