The harness belt is a key component of any jump-assist training system. Designed for use with a steel wire rope assembly and pole harness, this belt enables skaters to perform complex movements with reduced injury risk and improved form.
Key Features:
-
Adjustable Fit: Accommodates waist sizes from XS to L, making it suitable for a wide range of skaters.
-
Weight Distribution: Straps are engineered to evenly disperse load across the skater’s back and shoulders, reducing strain during dynamic motion.
-
Durable Materials: Reinforced stitching and high-tensile webbing ensure long-term use under rigorous training conditions.
-
Secure and Comfortable: Padded contact surfaces and secure velcro systems keep the belt in place, even during high-impact landings.
Instructional Use:
This belt is typically used in conjunction with a coach-operated pole harness system. The belt interfaces directly with a cable assembly, allowing the coach to assist the skater through jumps and rotations while maintaining control and reducing fall risk.
How to Use:
- Fit the Belt: Adjust the straps to wrap around the skater’s waist snugly. Ensure that the belt does not restrict movement or breathing.
- Secure the Connectors: Attach the steel wire rope assembly via the designated D-ring. Double-check that all latches and buckles are closed and locked.
- Begin Practice: The coach can guide or catch the skater mid-air, providing feedback while minimizing impact. The belt supports partial body weight, making repetition of difficult elements safer and more efficient.

General Safety & Risk Prevention
If you are using any freestyle harness, we recommend:
Mandatory Inspection: Before every use, check for frayed webbing, pulled stitches, and cracked or rusted hardware.
Proper Fit: A harness that is too loose can allow the wearer to slip out, while one that is too tight can cause discomfort and distraction.
