Magnetic Slider Keeper Info & Use

A magnetic slider keeper, such as the Flexvision XL Slider Keeper, is used after you have a fully open and functional canopy.

As you watch for canopy traffic, collapse your slider and slowly bring the slider down to the base of the risers, behind your head. Stow the slider between the loop of fabric between the magnets. Release your steering lines and fly your canopy.

When you lay down your canopy to pack, unstow the slider from magnetic slider keeper. Put your Slider and Keeper back to their normal positions.

This is not a gadget for all skydivers. Consult with your local DZO, S&TA, instructors and peers before using a magnetic slider keeper. A magnetic slider keeper can cause a delay during a cutaway if the slider is stowed in the device.
