WRONG !
The turbulence instability that can be felt with a cocoon harness comes from a poor setting.
It takes at least an hour (with the help of a specialist) to properly adjust a cocoon harness!
The discomfort and the supposed increased risk of twists (in the event of a major flight incident) come more from the tilting of the bust backwards than from the raised shins and feet!
We do not recommend lying down too much!
We have been flying without problems for a long time with classic harnesses equipped with footrests.
A cocoon harness is very stable on the axis of flight, even more so if it is equipped with inflatable profiling. It’s impossible for it to start spinning quickly. A skater or a gymnast groups together to do pirouettes! You don’t spread your arms and legs to turn faster.
NOTE
Twists are caused by a negative turn ! The wing then turns faster than the pilot. The harness/pilot combination cannot follow.
The classic case is overpiloting which causes a stall of the open half wing during a collapse.
The cocoon harness, if you are not lying down too much, is nothing more than a classic harness equipped with footrests dressed in fabric.
