**“If you decide to climb down, jettison all unneeded equipment. Ensure that you maintain your helmet. **Activate the quick release in your waistband. With either hand, apply inward pressure on the rip cord
assembly. With the opposite hand, remove the top tuck tab. Maintain steady inward pressure and with the opposite hand insert it behind the rip cord assembly and apply inward pressure. Grasp the rip cord handle with the opposite hand, pull it and drop it. With both hands, control the activation of the reserve parachute to the ground, ensuring that all suspension lines and risers are completely deployed. Disconnect the left connector snap and rotate the reserve to the right. Attach the left connector snap to the triangle link on your right side. Seat yourself well into the saddle. Activate the quick release in the chest strap and completely remove the chest strap from the chest strap friction adapter. Grasp the right main lift web with either hand below the canopy release assembly, and with the other hand activate the leg strap ejector snaps and climb down the outside of the reserve parachute. Caution must be taken when climbing down the T-11 reserve suspension lines because of the slippery coating applied to the suspension lines. Remember, when in doubt, stay where you are and wait for assistance.”
