Strong Wrap Single Point Release

Strong Wrap Release One of the early attempts to design a reliable and simplistic single point release system was the Strong Wrap.

A rectangular ring was attached to the end of the risers and another rectangular ring was integrated into the harness. The two rings were attached by a special Teflon impregnated webbing. The webbing was wrapped around the two rectangular rings.


The webbing was held in place by a cable passing through the loop at the end of the Teflon impregnated webbing. The loop first passed through a grommet, set in webbing. A cable from each riser was attached to a pillow-type handle. The cutaway handle was mounted on the right main lift webbing.

A jumper pulled the handle to cutaway. The Teflon webbing unwound and allowed the risers to separate from the harness.

The Strong Wrap Single Point Release System was originally installed on the Eagle piggyback harness and container system. The 3-ring release later replaced the Strong Wrap.

The short-lived Strong Wrap was based on prototype developments by Dan Poynter.
