  Rigging Innovations, Inc., in keeping with its legacy of leading the industry, is proud to announce the debut of a totally new concept in harness and container design.  Named the VOODOO™, the new design is the world's first dedicated FreeFly harness and container system.  Unlike current rigs which are descendants of 1970's speed star designs, the VOODOO™ completely addresses the needs of the FreeFly environment in terms of the attitudes and speeds encountered.
    The VOODOO™ is the beginning of the next revolution in rig technology.  With the growth of FreeFlying and its more stringent requirements, the VOODOO™ answers all the needs in the cleanest most logical configuration.  If others wish to satisfy the same requirements, their designs will follow that same path that the VOODOO™ has blazed to the future.
The VOODOO™ comes standard with hip rings or multi-flex (hip and chest rings), kill-line pilot chute, R.S.L., velcroless toggles, and hackey handle.

THE CONTAINER
The heart of the design is the shape of the container system. The profile of the container is curved from the top of the reserve to the bottom of the main resulting in a completely aerodynamic shape that slices through the air no matter what the attitude of the jumper in freefall. The container closing flaps are designed to be easy to use yet completely secure in freefall.
The reserve protector flap has been completely re-designed to use the most secure tongue combination in use today. The side tongues hold completely and the bottom pocket smoothes out the profile and keeps any lines from snagging. The internal pin pocket protects the pin from being dislodged.
The main pin protector flap is a streamlined variation of the upward closing flap pioneered on the Telesis 2 and the Genera. Longer and more tapered than its predecessors, it provides complete security and ease of use.
The main side flaps and riser covers have been integrated into one piece units that provide maximum coverage and protection while resulting in an aesthetically pleasing design that compliments the lines of the rig.
The BOC throwout installation is integrated into the bottom main flap in such a way that the main bridle is completely covered without the need of special flaps or covers. A ZP main pilotchute with a hackey handle and kill-line bridle is standard.
For those who prefer a pull-out (POP) deployment, easy to grip completely secure handle falls readily to hand.
The backpad has been designed to integrate with the reconfigured harness to provide a new level of comfort and fit. A completely new yoke area provides a hinge at the top of the container resulting in a better fit over the shoulder. Additional padding makes comfort a key word in the Voodoo design.
Full metal 3-ring housings are standard. Both the 3-ring and reserve ripcord housings have been lengthened and are attached to their pockets with clamps. The cables remain fully covered and protected in all attitudes at all times.
The reserve container: The reserve deployment bag has been designed to allow even greater ease of packing. At the same time, it provides a firm base for the Stealth pilotchute and contributes to even better launches than what the Stealth is known for.

THE HARNESS
The harness design and geometry have been designed to provide a level of fit and comfort unmatched by any other to date! The yoke area has been lengthened as well as the upper main lift web (MLW) to lower the 3-ring position and the chest strap. The angle of the yoke has been re-shaped and tailored to provide maximum security and comfort in a head down position.
The Multi-Flex harness configuration is standard provided an unequaled level of comfort and flexibility. New custom built ring hardware made specifically for RI and this application is used in the chest position. This hardware is forged flat and eliminates he pressure points and discomfort associated with previous designs. At the same time its use results in better articulation and freedom of movement in all attitudes.
The "in-set" horizontal back strap has been designed to "snug" the container to the body.
The lower main lift web/leg strap configuration features a totally new design that results in an unparalleled level of fit and comfort. Call the "V-Flex" configuration, it provides fully independent adjustment around the upper leg while at the same time total articulation around the hip ring. Coupled with our well known double-wide leg strap/pad design, the comfort must be experienced to be believed. - Ask any Voodoo owner!
The main risers utilize a new Velcro-less toggle design that is flatter and more secure than in the past.
