ABSTRACT:
A plastic shield for a connector link for connecting parachute shroud lines and a riser. The protector shield has a first member with channels which receive a portion of the connector link and a second member which is complementary with the first member and has channels which receive a portion of the connector link. The first and second members of the protector shield are attached by a set screw in surrounding relationship to a portion of the connector link to minimize contact between the connector link and a slider grommet on the shroud lines when the parachute slider and slider grommets located thereon move downwardly along the shroud lines so that the surface of the slider grommet is not nicked by contact with the connector link.
