Record 4 2010-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
DEF

An arrangement of ropes or webbing that is worn over the shoulder and around the chest and sometimes also around the waist and crotch instead of a waistband so that the shock of an accidental fall will be distributed over a larger area of the body.

OBS

A harness features a waist strap and leg loops that are sewn into one unit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de montagne
DEF

Système de sangle qui entoure le bassin et parfois la poitrine du grimpeur et sert à amortir les effets d'une chute.

CONT

Le baudrier se compose d'une ceinture, de bretelles, de sangles cuissardes; il permet, en cas de chute, de répartir le choc sur plusieurs parties du corps.

OBS

Le baudrier-cuissard, relié à la corde, soutient les grimpeurs par les cuisses et le bassin.

OBS

Dans les ouvrages sur l'alpinisme et les dictionnaires généraux, la définition de «baudrier» correspond à celle de «baudrier-cuissard»; les deux termes sont synonymes et équivalents du terme anglais «harness» qu'on définit des mêmes éléments que les termes français. Il y a donc équivalence et non lien de générique à spécifique entre les désignations anglaises et françaises. L'usage actuel privilégie «baudrier-cuissard», une désignation plus précise.

Subject field(s)
  • Skydiving, Paragliding and Hang Gliding
CONT

Although accidental deployments are not as common as they once were, it remains the pilots’ responsibility to check their equipment before every flight. Most accidental deployments could have been prevented if the pilot had performed a thorough preflight and maintained awareness of their parachute system. Checking the safety pin prior to launch, taking care not to snag the handle while launching or grab the wrong strap when trying to adjust the harness helps prevent accidental deployments.

CONT

No risk of accidental deployment: Unintentional deployments are too frequent, ... it is unacceptable to have safety equipment which can cause problems during a routine flight.

CONT

The loop tensioner, which is recommended by the DHV, prevents unintentional deployment of the rescue system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Parachutisme, parapente et deltaplane
