Bungee Ball Slider Keeper Install & Use
The Bungee/Ball Slider Keeper is a tent tie-down that can be modified to use as a slider keeper at the top of your reserve pin cover flap. The purpose of this slider keeper is to hold the slider down behind a jumper’s head after the canopy is open so that the slider doesn’t interfere with cameras, the line of sight and/or allows the risers to open up further. This is not a gadget for all skydivers. Consult with your local DZO, S&TA, instructors and peers before using the Bungee/Ball Slider Keeper. This keeper can cause a delay during a cutaway if the slider is stowed in the device.
To install, wrap the elastic around the top of the reserve pin cover flap. Tighten and tie a knot inside the ball with the elastic to keep it snug to the top of your rig. Make sure the elastic does not interfere with the reserve cable, RSL or cutaway cables. Install rubberbands as needed below the ball around the elastic. The Bungee/Ball Slider Keeper is now ready to use.
