Abstract
A strap that may be used to secure equipment (e.g., a bag) to the parachute harness of a parachutist. The strap may provide adjustability of an effective strap length to assist in positioning the suspended equipment relative to the parachutist. The strap may include quick-release features that allow the suspended equipment to be quickly and easily disengaged (e.g., once the parachutist has landed). In turn, a transition to ground operations in which the equipment is in use may occur quickly and without heavy rigging or additional containers for stowing the equipment during the jump. In turn, the strap may be carried with the parachutist during ground operations without significant additional weight.
