So Flt Lt Cunningham twice routed a strap thru the handle??
pull the other one,
If this is possible then it is not a design flaw, or defect it is fundamentally unsafe.

Now forgive my lack of type specific knowledge here but how different is the strap arrangement in a hawk to an F3 ? Circa 98 onwards.

Because when I had my backseat there were only two tongues that when into the QRF.

They came down over the shoulders, the crotch straps came up and thru the square ends of the lap straps then the tongues came thru the crotch straps and into the QRF.

You then tightened the laps before the shoulders and your liney adjusted the slack out behind you.

I can see a possible way that a crotch strap could be routed thru the handle but not a lap.

Regards
