    The harness single point release is the equipment that secures the ruck close to the jumper’s body and is designed to be lowered on a release line away from the jumper just prior to landing. When the Soldiers were about 150 feet from the ground, they lowered the rucksack carrying the radio, making it about 15 feet below them when they landed.
