The dual harness parachute system was developed over twenty years ago in the USA. The system allows a totally inexperienced passenger to experience the thrill and excitement of freefall. The complete jump is under the control of the tandem instructor who is attached to the passenger in the dual harness. The equipment used by the company is manufactured in the USA by 'Strong Enterprises' a world renowned parachute manufacturer. Strong were the first company to develop the dual harness system. The system contains two square parachutes - the main and the reserve, in addition to this each parachute system is fitted with an emergency computer activated opening device.
