Tear Off Flap Notice
Firebird TEAR OFF FLAP (TOF)
This Firebird EVO is equipped with the Tear Off Flap (TOF)
The TOF is the main pin cover flap and it is designed to come off in case of a line snag.
It will come off when a straight force between 30-40 lbs is applied and it is designed to
for a belly-to-earth deployment sequence initiation (DSI).
A DSI in track, half track or in wingsuiting can create enough force for the TOF to
disengage and fly away.
At delivery, the TOF is secured by a tack out of 69 tex (E) thread in neon green or neon
orange at the base of the TOF that can be removed if you want to use the safety
feature. It has this different color to avoid unstitching the thread of the binding tape.
You can choose to leave the TOF secured, then the flap functions as any other
main pin cover flap.
Please read the manual concerning the TOF or watch the video on our website at
