By now you should have viewed
the mandatory video about the
right way
to use the gunner
restraint system (grs).
see the
ps
article about it:
archives/PS2010/697/697-60-61.pdf
So when you strap
in, make sure you make
all of the necessary
adjustments—from the
front
and
the rear.
if your GRS harneSs tail strap
has a tan v-strap and a pelican
clip with a yellow tag, you’ve
got the improved version.
The quick-release button lets
you get out of your MRAP quickly
without
having to drop the harness
first. The swivel keeps the tail
strap from twisting. And the
adjustable tail strap lets a tall
gunner lengthen the straps for
easier access.
it also allows shorter gunners
to keep the strap tight enough to
properly protect them.
But be careful not to step on
the tail strap!
That’s a problem when the tail
straps aren’t correctly adjusted
and end up hanging too low. it
can cause premature wear and
tear on the strap. StePPing on
the strap can also keep the strap
from retracting during rollovers,
putting the gUnner at risk.
this is why you
MRAP gunners
should
always
wear your GRS!
