Default S-H safety harness (V2C)

Flying a Ventus C with a 5 point system and an external catheter
linked to a dump tube exiting on the lower gear door.

When I need to use the system I unlock the gear to lower the doors,
and loosen the crotch strap. When finished I blow out the line with a
longer tube tee'd into the dump line, raise the gear, and tighten the
crotch strap.

Works fine.

I use a "condom" style catheter with a collection bag strapped to my
leg; no spills and a large capacity. It's sold on-line by an outfit
called Stadium Pro. The fifth strap, if the attachment is correctly
placed, doesn't touch your privates; it's sole function is to keep the
lap belts in proper (low) position. I expect the fifth strap would
interfere with a pee bag or funnel system, though.
