- ALWAYS quicklink Nomex and loose parts to a quicklink. Leaving components loose on a parachute line will result in a reefed parachute (a parachute that is cinched shut, and cannot open all the way)

- ALWAYS ensure that eyebolts are not only tight with a bolt, but secured in place via:
- Safety wire, or
- sealing the threads with some sort of glue (epoxy, superglue, etc.)
