Merci. Il me semble que le "kilogramme force" est plus parlant que le "déca newton" pour le lecteur moyen !

5 daN safety tie thread
With such a low value, this refers to safety thread used by the rigger to lock the reserve chute opening pin. In the USA, it is typically used in combination with lead seals (P/N 7360 on the web reference page); however, French skydiving regulations do not require that the reserve be packed by a rigger.
See P/N S7370 on the web reference page.
