Main and reserve flaps should be secure
so they will not move during the higher speeds of freeflying, to guard
against premature openings
Pull out or BOC are vital so the pilot chute cannot get caught in the
airflow
Check that chest strap excess is stowed away, secure
all loose ends
A strap connecting the leg straps is a
really good idea, preventing them slipping to your knees
A reserve pillow handle instead of a D
ring is highly recommended, this virtually eliminates the possibility
of an accidental deployment due to contact in freefall
The
Wrong Gear
Freeflying with a leg strap throwaway is
just not acceptable.
Check any velcro for signs of wear, replace
it if neededThe riser and pin-covers may look secure
but the style and the worn velcro mean they are likely to blow open
in freefall, the increased freefly speed will make sure of that.

Okay
to freefly? No way!
Giles'
clothing will blow up and cover his handles, his leg strap throwaway
is unsuitable and half out of the pocket and the riser covers less
than secure.
