ABOUT THE DEPLOYMENT BRAKES<br />
Every ram-air canopy on the market today is equipped with “deployment brakes” to make it open more gently and<br />
reliably. The brakes work by keeping the tail of the canopy pulled down several inches during deployment. This prevents<br />
the canopy from surging forward as it inflates and begins flying.<br />
Malfunctions and poor deployments may result if the brakes are not set during packing, if the brakes are incorrectly set,<br />
or if one or both brakes release before complete canopy inflation and stabilization. Incompatible toggle and riser<br />
combinations may also create similar problems.<br />
Not all harness and container systems have risers that are configured like those shipped with the Vector 3. Different<br />
riser designs require different procedures and a rigger should be consulted for the correct one.<br />
