Crouch Strap story

It is possible to make a 6 point harness that simply falls away when
released. Some were trialled in Europe and the UK I believe . The plusses
for a six point harness outweighed the negatives by a long way! I was trying
to get hold of one but they appear to not have been able to get them
certified.
It is very difficult to innovate in the aviation industry without spending
vast amounts of money and I think this vital innovation may have fallen foul
of this.

Perhaps DG offers this as an option? They seem to be the only real
innovaters left on the soaring scene.

Tony Segal published a later article, which concluded six point
harnesses were superior to five point harnesses.

I'll bet they are but does this not provide two more straps to un-fasten
when
the need for a quick egress arises? Or am I missing something?
