NTSB Safety Recommendations A-08-73 and -74

************************************************************

The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the 
United States Parachute Association:

Work with the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct 
research to determine the most effective dual-point 
restraint systems for parachutists that reflects the various 
aircraft and seating configurations used in parachute 
operations. (A-08-73)

Once the most effective dual-point restraint systems for 
parachutists are determined, as requested in Safety 
Recommendation A-08-71, educate your members on the findings 
and encourage them to use the most effective dual-point 
restraint systems. (A-08-74)
