The Quickout is used everywhere where a reliable connection and if needed a quick release even under load is necessary. It is designed for secure load attachment - in particular for the carrying of persons - and is suitable for outdoor use. Our quick release carabiner is established and proven in helicopter operations by police, army, mountain rescue and firefighters. In paragliding sports, it allows the release of the glider when used with a steerable rescue system. The simultaneous push of both lock buttons disconnects the pilot from the glider effortlessly. Safety trainings showed the release of the glider to be advantageous in the case of a rescue system deployment. Aside from its advantages in the case of water- or tree landings and in strong wind conditions, the Quickout also offers superior handling compared to conventional paragliding carabiners.

Please note when using the QUICK-OUT: Swapping the release buttons is dangerous to life. In our instruction manual we hence point out that the release button located on the opposite side of the installation slot must not be dismounted when attaching the carabiner to the harness. It may only be removed for cleaning purposes after the carabiner had been exposed to salt water. However, to prevent swapping the release buttons, only one button at a time may be dismounted.
Attention: The use with gliders featuring a speed pedal is only permitted in combination with a patent shackle release system (HKar14) or a Brummel hook release system (HKar141).
