Gordy - I see it says "system" so the way I interpret that is that the harness and tether are a "system" which would mean that if the harness is attached to a quick release tether then that would mean the "system" is a quick release system. Your thoughts ??.
I have a call into the FAA person so will see what they tell me also
Also there are two FAA approved harnesses, one from ARS and also one from Priority 1 which I do have also.
