Varialfreefly. Untitled Document. Just about every skydiver begins his or her career equipped with a Reserve Static Line (RSL).
An RSL is a basic piece of safety gear that uses a short piece of material to physically connect at least one main parachute riser with the reserve ripcord system. The RSL is designed to instantly extract the reserve ripcord pins if the main parachute is jettisoned, and thus it begins reserve deployment with a minimum altitude loss.
