This is a simple way of adding some arm support to a suspension where the arms aren't tied in to the suspension harness. It can be done on the ground ahead of time, or in the air during suspension. The nice thing about tying the arms in at the end like this is that if they start losing circulation, you can untie them and change their position without ending the suspension.
