HARNESS PROTECTION SHOCK TEST Most paraglider harnesses are equipped with a protection device that damps the shock on the pilot s spine during a hard landing. Shock impact tests have to be executed on these harnesses in order to prove the damping characteristics of it. page 2 of 4

13 Protector shock test Test ID Protect Standard 2. DV LuftGerPV 1, Nr. 7 c Test standard : Requirements: Minimun height: Impact requirements: Repetitions: Harness attached to protector test dummy, in a similar way like a real pilot in flight. Impact will be simulated by dropping the dummy from a certain height (with and without reserve). To simulate the in-flight conditions, the airbag is inflated with pressurized air equalling an airspeed of 7m/s. Inflation has to be stopped at least 5 sec before impact. Impact will be measured by an accelerometer mounted on the dummy. (Impact measured in g s) 1.65 m (between lowest point test dummy and impact surface) +50g as absolute maximum; +38g during less than 7 msec; +20g during less than 25 msec. The test will be performed 2 times, minimum 1 hour and maximum 2 hours after the first impact (with airbag protectors this pause is not necessary). The 2 Max-values should not differ more than 20% Shock test 1: Impact at a height of 1.65m: Impact duration of+ 38 g (if any): Impact duration of +20 g (if any): g 6 ms 17 ms < 20 %? Shock test 2: Impact at a height of 1.65m: Impact duration of+ 38 g (if any): Impact duration of +20 g (if any): g 4.1 ms 16.9 ms Test Result: Annex TEST ID Protect 1
