Weight Systems
The quick release buckle is the most important component of any weight system.
Weight Belt Quick Release
It's important that you or your buddy are able to quickly remove your weight belt in the event of an emergency. For this reason, it's essential that your belt fastens with a quick release buckle.
The most common style is pictured to the left. To secure the weight belt, you pull the lever out, slide the end of the belt through the buckle, and then push the lever in.
In the event of an emergency, pulling the lever out releases the belt. Your instructor will teach you the best method for "ditching" your weight belt, and you'll have plenty of opportunity to practice this skill.
