There was a question posed on parachute static lines from a previous thread that I don't think was addressed. How do you configure one? How long and strong a cable and what kind of clips to use? Some cockpits have an attachment ring for this purpose, but where do you clip it for those that don't?

Original Post: "Any comments on static lines?
My S-H glider has an in cockpit attachment point for a static line.
I am interested in comments on bailing out in am emergency.
Not as interested in the captain obvious comments like "you could accidentally open your chute after a normal landing getting out of your glider". That is implicit and obvious.Thoughts on actual emergency bailouts, static line versus regular D handle?"

After Dave Nadler’s presentation at the Little Rock SSA convention I asked for the same advice you’re looking for. His response was very emphatically that a qualified parachute rigger is the only one who should install the line. He said I should take a picture of the attach point in the glider, and have the rigger install the static line per your parachute’s requirements. I suspect he’d be willing to post his reply with the points he made to me.
