The Voodoo, Talon and Telesis have all now been upgraded see PIA Symposium 2008 for more details Rigging Innovations, Inc., in keeping with its legacy of leading the industry, is proud to announce the debut of a totally new concept in harness and container design. Named the VOODOO™, the new design is the world's first dedicated FreeFly harness and container system. Unlike current rigs which are descendants of 1970's speed star designs, the VOODOO™ completely addresses the needs of the FreeFly environment in terms of the attitudes and speeds encountered The Container The heart
of the design is the shape of the container system. The profile
of the container is curved from the top of the reserve to the bottom
of the main resulting in a completely aerodynamic shape that slices
through the air no matter what the attitude of the jumper in freefall.
The container closing flaps are designed to be easy to use yet completely
secure in freefall. |
Reserve Protector Flap Left Side Cover Protector Pull Out Deployment |
The
reserve protector flap has been completely re-designed to use the most
secure tongue combination in use today. The side tongues hold completely
and the bottom pocket smoothes out the profile and keeps any lines from
snagging. The internal pin pocket protects the pin from being dislodged.
The main pin
protector flap is a streamlined variation of the upward closing flap
utilized for over two years on the Telesis 2 and the Genera. Longer
and more tapered than its predecessors, it also provides complete security
and ease of use. The main side
flaps and riser covers have been integrated into one piece units that
provide maximum coverage and protection while resulting in an aesthetically
pleasing design that compliments the lines of the rig. |
Full Metal 3 Ring Housing Main Pin Protector |
For those who prefer
a pull-out deployment, an easy to grip, completely secure handle falls readily
to hand.
The main riser covers have been lengthened to provide maximum protection for
the risers resulting in only the 3-ring hardware being exposed.
The left side cover has a pocket for the hard housing to rest in and prevents
it being snagged in freefall.
The backpad has been completely re-designed to integrate with the reconfigured
harness to provide a new level of comfort and fit. A completely new yoke area
provides a hinge at the top of the container resulting in a better fit over
the shoulder. Additional padding makes comfort a key work in the "Voodoo"
design.
Full metal 3-ring housings are standard. Both the 3-ring and reserve ripcord
housings have been lengthened and are attached to their pockets in such a
way that the cables remain fully covered and protected in all attitudes at
all times. A variety of handle configurations such as metal, pillow, and fabric
loop construction are available.
The Reserve Container - The reserve deployment bag has been re-designed to
allow even greater ease of packing. At the same time it provides a firmer
base for the Stealth pilotchute and contributes to even better launches than
what the Stealth is known for.
