Throughout this manual, the following visual cues are used. Pay attention to all of them.

n DANGER Conduct that may cause serious injury or death. Mandatory compliance.

n WARNING Conduct that may cause injury or property damage.

n INFO Important information or technique guidance.

3 CHECK Inspection or verification step you must perform.

Glossary — Terms Used in This Manual

RURSE Rapid Uncontrolled Release of Stored Energy. The failure mode where

stored elastic energy is suddenly released, potentially propelling

components at injury-causing velocity.

T1 — T12 The twelve thoracic vertebrae of the upper spine — the area between

the base of the neck and the bottom of the rib cage. The RAflex

harness anchors in this zone.

Multi-Stage Kinetic

Containment Anchor

The four-component band termination: internal ball stopper, metal

clamp, anti-shear gasket, and paracord safety loop. The 'Safety-Core'

of the system.

Anti-Shear Gasket The viscoelastic (rubber-like, dampening) layer between the metal

clamp and the latex tube. Prevents the clamp from cutting the latex.

Sandwich Crimp The build technique where the paracord cut-ends are crimped INSIDE

the same clamp as the latex tube, creating a single mechanical lock.

Calibrated Tension Node A knot or bead in the paracord at a fixed 40 mm spacing, used to select

resistance without hardware.

Burst-Rated Containment

Sleeve

The outer heat-shrink and/or nylon shell around the termination.

Retains failed components in the event of catastrophic failure.

Tube Routing Guide A nylon ring or loop stitched to the side of the back strap of the thoracic

harness. Each resistance tube threads through its corresponding

routing guide so the tube cannot migrate up or down the user's back

during dynamic movement, preserving the thoracic resistance vector.

Sole trader An individual conducting business in their own name, with personal

liability for business debts and claims. The Supplier of this product

operates as a sole trader under Australian law; the registered legal

name of the Supplier is recorded on your purchase invoice and tax

receipt.

following conditions. The Supplier does not provide medical advice. The list is non-exhaustive — when in

doubt, see your doctor first.

Latex allergy: Do not use if you have a known latex allergy. This product contains natural rubber latex. If

you are unsure whether you are allergic, consult a medical professional before use.

Spinal: Disc herniation, spinal stenosis, vertebral fracture, scoliosis > 20°, ankylosing spondylitis, recent

(within 12 months) spinal surgery.

Shoulder & upper limb: Recent rotator cuff repair, recurrent shoulder dislocation, labral tear, AC joint

separation, biceps tendon rupture.

Cardiovascular: Uncontrolled hypertension (> 160/100), recent (within 6 months) myocardial infarction,

severe aortic stenosis, pulmonary hypertension, implanted pacemaker or defibrillator (consult your

cardiologist on isometric/explosive resistance work).

Connective tissue: Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, severe osteoporosis (T-score < -2.5),

recent fracture (within 6 months).

Neurological: Active seizure disorder if not medically controlled, recent stroke or TIA (within 12 months),

severe peripheral neuropathy.

Pregnancy: Use during pregnancy is NOT recommended. Discuss with your obstetrician or GP if you

have any intention of using during the first 12 weeks postpartum.

Other: Acute illness, fever, severe sleep deprivation, recent surgery of any kind, or any condition for which

your medical practitioner has advised against high-tension resistance training.

User Weight Guidelines

Body weight Usage status

Up to 100 kg (220 lb) Approved for all use at all resistance levels.

101–120 kg (222–264 lb) Use with caution. Inspect harness contact points and skin after each session.

Avoid maximum resistance nodes. Monitor shoulder loop stitching for

accelerated wear.

Above 120 kg (264 lb) DO NOT USE. Harness straps and termination hardware are not rated for

this body weight. Contact the Supplier for updates on higher-rated variants.

n DANGER — If any of the above apply to you, do not use RAflex without prior written clearance

from a qualified medical practitioner. Keep that clearance with your kit. The Supplier is not

qualified to assess your fitness to use the product.

RAflex Quick-Start Summary Effective June 2026

Quick-Start Summary

If you take nothing else from this manual, take these seven things:

1. Harness on first. The back panel sits between your shoulder blades — NOT at

your waist. Tighten until it doesn't shift when you twist.

2. Carabiner through BOTH loops. Every band has a ball loop AND a paracord safety loop. Your

carabiner must thread through both, every time. This is the

redundancy that catches a failure.

3. Thread tubes through the

back-strap routing guides.

Every resistance tube must pass through its nylon ring on the

side of the back strap. This keeps the band loaded across

your thoracic spine instead of riding up your neck or slipping

down your lower back.

4. Inspect before every session. 90 seconds of looking at your bands prevents a hospital trip.

Seven checks listed inside.

5. Never anchor to any external

structure.

Body-to-body only. External anchoring causes catastrophic

failure.

6. If you hear it, see it, or feel it —

stop.

Cracking sounds, sudden tension changes, ball displacement,

latex whitening = STOP and replace the band.

7. Retire latex at 12 months from first

use, regardless of appearance.

Natural rubber degrades with time alone.

RAflex Setup Guide Effective June 2026

Setup Guide

Follow these six steps in order, every time you set up. Skipping or shortcutting a step is the most common

cause of preventable injury.

Step 1: Harness Placement

What you do: Put the harness on like a vest. The padded back panel must sit between your shoulder

blades — the area between vertebrae T1 (top of upper back) and T12 (just above your lower back). Cinch

the shoulder loops over your shoulders and tighten the side adjustment straps around your torso.

Why this matters: Anchoring the bands at your upper back keeps the resistance force aligned with your

shoulders and chest — where your power actually comes from in boxing, MMA, and rotational sports.

Anchoring at the waist creates downward force on your lower spine and reduces useful athletic power.

3 CHECK — Twist your torso fully left and right. The back panel must not shift up, down, or

sideways. If it moves, tighten the side straps and re-test. If it pinches or restricts your breathing,

loosen one notch.

Step 2: Band Attachment — Dual Safety Loop

What you do: Each end of every band has TWO attachment loops — a ball loop and a paracord safety

loop. Take your carabiner and thread it through BOTH loops, then clip it to the attachment ring on the

harness.

Why this matters: The ball loop is your primary attachment point. The paracord loop is your secondary

safety. If the latex tube ever tears under load, the paracord catches the failed end and prevents the band

from whipping back at you. This only works if both loops are threaded through the same carabiner.

3 CHECK — Look at the carabiner. You must see two separate loops passing through it. If you

only see one, undo it and re-thread.

3 CHECK — Confirm the gate snaps fully closed. If your carabiner has a screw-lock or twist-lock,

engage it. A carabiner with an open gate is not a safety device.

Step 3: Wrist Cuff & Thumb Loop

What you do: Slide your thumb through the thumb loop FIRST, then wrap the wrist cuff around your

forearm and secure the Velcro. Reversing this order makes the cuff much more likely to rotate around your

wrist during a punch.

Why this matters: Boxing and striking generates rotational force. Without the thumb anchor, the cuff

slides up your forearm under tension, which creates unpredictable load on the band and can pinch your

skin.

3 CHECK — The cuff should be firm against your skin but not painful. You should be able to slide

one finger underneath. The thumb loop should sit in the web between your thumb and index

finger.

Step 4: Leg Strap — D-ring Faces Outside

What you do: Wrap the padded leg strap around your mid-to-upper thigh — high enough that it sits on

muscle, not on or above the knee. Tighten until immovable. The D-ring MUST be on the OUTSIDE of your

leg (the lateral side).

Why this matters: If you put the D-ring on the inside, the band will catch your other leg during kicks,

sprawls, and stance changes — at best disrupting your training, at worst causing a fall.

3 CHECK — Stand normally with feet shoulder-width. The D-ring on each leg should be pointing

AWAY from your other leg. If they're pointing toward each other, you've put them on the wrong

way around.

Step 5: Choosing Resistance — Calibrated Tension Nodes

What you do: Each band has multiple knot-like nodes spaced exactly 40 mm apart on the paracord tail.

To change resistance, you change which node your anchor point hooks into.

Why this matters: The further the anchor node is from your body, the more the band has to stretch — and

the heavier the resistance. Start at Node 1 (light) for warmup, work to Node 3–4 for main sets, Node 5 only

for peak-power conditioning. Don't jump straight to the highest node — your tendons need time to adapt.

3 CHECK — Because spacing is fixed at 40 mm, you can count nodes to repeat the exact same

resistance from session to session.

Step 6: Back Strap Tube Routing Guides

What you do: The thoracic harness has small nylon ring guides stitched along the sides of the back strap.

Before each session, thread each resistance tube through the nylon guide on its corresponding side of the

back strap. The tube must pass through the ring, not over it or beside it. The tube should slide smoothly

through the guide — designed to allow longitudinal translation while restraining lateral migration.

Why this matters: Without the routing guides, resistance tubes are free to ride up toward your neck or slip

down toward your lower back during dynamic movement. This shifts the resistance vector away from your

thoracic anchor zone (T1–T12) and into the cervical or lumbar spine — exactly what RAflex is engineered

to prevent.

3 CHECK — Confirm each tube is seated inside its guide before training. Twist your torso and

throw a slow shadow punch on each side — the tube should slide smoothly, and the guide should

not lift off the harness. If any guide has come loose from stitching, retire the harness and contact

the Supplier. Do not train with a missing, torn, or detached routing guide.

RAflex Pre-Session Inspection Effective June 2026

Pre-Session Inspection (90 Seconds, EVERY Session)

You are required to inspect the kit before every session. Failure to inspect is contributory negligence and

limits your remedies under Australian Consumer Law. Use the seven-check process below.

If any check fails: do not use the band. Replace the latex tubing if it is the failure, or retire the set entirely if

the harness or termination hardware is compromised. Do not attempt to repair damaged termination

hardware.

Check 1 — Latex tube body. Visually inspect the full length of every band. Look for cracks, cuts,

punctures, nicks, dry/cracked patches, bubbles inside the tube wall, or whitening (stress marks). Any of

these = retire the band.

Check 2 — Termination clamps. Look at the metal ear clamp at each end of every band. The clamp must

be uniformly tight around the bundle, not rotated, not slid out of position, not visibly deformed. The latex

underneath must look like a tube, not a flat sheet.

Check 3 — Ball stoppers. Confirm the ball stopper at each end is seated against the clamp. A small gap

is normal and expected. Retire the band only if the ball has visibly migrated significantly from its clamped

position — obvious movement, not a hairline gap.

Check 4 — Paracord safety loops. Inspect every paracord loop. The kernmantle (outer braid) should be

intact with no exposed inner core. Pull-test each loop with your body weight (15–20 kg) before threading

the carabiner — if anything moves, retire the band.

Check 5 — Outer containment sleeve. Inspect the heat-shrink and self-bonded wrap around each

termination. It must be intact, fully bonded, with no bubbles, gaps, splits, peeling, or exposed clamp metal.

Check 6 — Harness, cuffs, and straps. Inspect harness stitching for pulled threads or loose seams.

Check Velcro for matting or loss of grip. Check cuff padding for tears.

Check 7 — Back strap routing guides. Look at the nylon ring guides on the sides of the back strap. Each

guide must be firmly attached to the harness with no loose, torn, or pulled stitching. Each resistance tube

must be threaded through its corresponding guide. If any guide is missing, detached, or damaged, do not

use the kit. Retire the harness and contact the Supplier.

RAflex Critical Safety Warning / Foreseeable Misuse Effective June 2026

n Critical Safety Warning: Projectile & Recoil Hazard

The RAflex system stores extreme kinetic energy in its latex tubing during use. If the latex fails under load,

that energy is released in milliseconds. This is called Rapid Uncontrolled Release of Stored Energy

(RURSE) and can cause serious injury including blindness, fractures, and lacerations.

What RAflex does to mitigate RURSE:

• Multi-Stage Kinetic Containment Anchor — four-component safety termination

• Burst-rated Kinetic Containment Sleeve — outer shell to retain failed components

• Dual-loop attachment — redundant load path through both ball loop AND paracord loop

• Back-strap Tube Routing Guides — keep the resistance vector aligned across T1–T12 and prevent the

band from migrating into the cervical or lumbar spine under load

What RAflex does NOT do:

Eliminate all RURSE risk. No wearable resistance product can. The system is engineered to attenuate

(slow and absorb) catastrophic failure rather than completely prevent it. You must still treat the bands as

stored-energy equipment and wear eye protection if training near other people or in confined spaces.

Foreseeable Misuse — Strictly Prohibited

The following uses are known to cause catastrophic failure or injury. The Supplier expressly disclaims all

responsibility for injuries arising from these scenarios. Australian Consumer Law guarantees do not extend

to damage caused by abnormal use.

External anchoring. NEVER attach to any external structure (doors, poles, racks, walls, trees).

Body-to-body use only.

Overstretching. Do not exceed 3× resting length (750 mm max). Height ref: 165 cm»1.5×, 180 cm»2.3×.

Daily limit ~183 cm (6'0"), absolute max ~193 cm (6'4"). Do not use above 6'4" (193 cm). Latex tension

increases non-linearly; small overstretch can cause catastrophic load increase.

Asymmetric loading. Do not use the system with only one limb engaged when the harness is designed

for balanced loading.

Maximum-effort stretch testing. Do not perform 'snap tests', competitive stretch challenges, or rapid

recoil releases.

Impaired use. Do not use while fatigued to motor failure, distracted, or under the influence of alcohol or

substances that impair motor control or judgement.

Unsuitable environment. Do not use in direct sunlight for extended sessions, near sources of heat, or in

environments containing oils, solvents, or chemicals.

Untrained users. Do not lend or allow access to anyone who has not read this Manual and signed their

own Acknowledgement form.

Use without harness. Do not use the bands directly attached to a body part without the harness.

Modification. Do not modify, repair, or alter any component of the kit. Do not substitute parts. Do not

attempt to re-crimp clamps, re-tie paracord loops, or re-shrink heat-shrink sleeves. Any modification voids

all liability protection from the Supplier and may render the product unsafe.

Bypassing routing guides. Do not use the kit with resistance tubes routed outside, over, or alongside the

nylon ring guides on the back strap. The guides are a load-positioning safety component.

Use after retirement. Do not continue using latex tubing past 12 months from first use, or past any failed

inspection check.

Children and minors. Users under 16 must not use this product. Users 16–17 must have parent/guardian

supervision and a completed Section D of the Acknowledgement form.

Commercial/group use without separate agreement. If you operate a gym, training facility, or charge

clients to use this product, you require a separate commercial-use agreement with the Supplier. Contact

us before deploying in a commercial setting.

RAflex Immediate Stop Conditions Effective June 2026

Immediate Stop Conditions

Stop training immediately if you detect any of the following. Do not finish the set. Do not finish the round.

Stop, step away from the line of pull, and inspect the kit.

Acoustic (things you hear)

• Cracking, popping, snapping, or tearing sound from bands or termination

• High-pitched whine or hiss during stretch

• Creaking of paracord under strain

Tactile (things you feel)

• Sudden change in resistance during a rep

• A 'click' or jolt at the termination

• Vibration or flutter in the band that wasn't there at session start

• Cuff or strap migrating during exercises

• The resistance band riding up your neck or slipping down toward your lower back (indicates a

routing guide has failed or the tube has come out of the guide)

Visual (things you see)

• Ball stopper has shifted

• Metal clamp has rotated, slid, or deformed

• White stress marks ('whitening') in the latex

• Visible cracks, cuts, or punctures

• Paracord showing exposed inner core

• Heat-shrink shell has split or peeled

• Harness stitching showing pulled threads

• Routing guide stitching coming loose from the harness fabric

• Routing guide ring deformed, torn, or no longer holding the tube in position

RAflex Modular Serviceability / Storage & Care Effective June 2026

Modular Serviceability — Replacing Worn Bands

The latex tubing in RAflex is engineered as a consumable component. The harness, limb cuffs, carabiners,

ball stoppers, paracord safety loops, and back-strap routing guides are engineered as permanent assets

that survive multiple service cycles of the latex.

Expected service life of the latex tube (with proper storage and inspection):

Usage level Expected service life

Light home use (2–3 sessions/week) 12 months

Heavy training (5+ sessions/week) 6–9 months

Hot/humid environment or daily UV exposure 3–6 months

Any latex showing inspection-stage warnings Retire immediately

n DANGER — Mandatory retirement at 12 months from first use, regardless of visual condition or

usage intensity. Natural latex degrades with time independent of exercise load. A band that looks

fine at 14 months may fail catastrophically. Continued use past 12 months voids all Supplier

liability protection.

Replacement bands may be ordered directly from RAflex. Contact raflexbands.com.au. Do not source

replacement latex from non-RAflex suppliers — gauge and material specs are matched to the termination

hardware. Mismatched latex causes clamp slip-out.

Storage, Care & Environmental Limits

Natural latex is a biological material. It degrades from environmental exposure even when not in use.

Storage rules

• Cool, dry, dark. A drawer or kit bag is fine. A car boot in summer is not.

• Away from direct sunlight. UV destroys latex faster than anything else.

• Away from heat sources (heaters, radiators, ovens, hot vehicle interiors).

• Not stretched. Coil bands loosely; never store under tension.

• Away from oils and solvents (petroleum, motor oil, sunscreen, many cleaners).

Cleaning

Wipe latex tubing with a damp cloth (water only). Hand-wash harness and cuffs in cold water with mild

detergent, air-dry away from direct sun. Do not machine-wash. Do not tumble-dry.

n WARNING — After chemical contact: If latex or terminations have contacted oil, solvent, or

chemical of any kind, retire the band. Do not clean and continue using. Contamination is not

reversible.

RAflex Transfer & Lending / Incident Reporting Effective June 2026

Transfer, Lending & Third-Party Use

If you lend, sell, gift, or otherwise transfer this RAflex kit to another person, you must:

1. Provide them with this Manual in full.

2. Have them complete and sign their own Acknowledgement Form before first use.

3. Disclose the age of the latex (months since first use) so they can assess remaining service life.

4. Not transfer any kit with latex older than 9 months of use — remaining service life is insufficient.

5. Forward a copy of their signed Acknowledgement to the Supplier within 14 days of transfer.

Indemnity: By transferring this kit, you indemnify the Supplier against any claim, demand, action, suit,

cost, loss, or damage arising from the recipient's use of the kit where you have not complied with the

above transfer requirements.

n INFO — Commercial / gym deployment: Operating the product in a gym, training facility, or charging

clients to access it requires a separate commercial-use agreement with the Supplier. Contact

raflexbands.com.au before commercial deployment.

Incident Reporting

If any of the following occur, you must notify the Supplier within 7 days. This allows the Supplier to

investigate component failure modes and (where appropriate) issue corrective advice to other users.

• Any injury sustained during use of the product (regardless of severity).

• Any catastrophic failure of latex tubing or termination hardware.

• Any component released as a projectile during use.

• Any failure of an inspection check that you could not attribute to clear misuse or end-of-service-life latex.

• Any detachment, tearing, or failure of a back-strap routing guide.

Report to: raflexbands.com.au (contact form, subject line: 'INCIDENT REPORT'). Include: date,

description, photographs of the failed component, and your User Acknowledgement reference (purchase

date and order number).

If the incident caused serious injury or death, you are also required to report to the Australian Competition

& Consumer Commission (ACCC) under section 131 of the Australian Consumer Law. The Supplier will

assist with this reporting on request.

RAflex Limitation of Liability (Australian Consumer Law) Effective June 2026

Limitation of Liability (Australian Consumer Law)

1. Consumer guarantees. RAflex is sold subject to the consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer

Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010). Nothing in this Manual excludes, restricts,

or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under that Law.

2. Exclusion to the maximum extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the

Supplier's liability for personal injury, death, indirect loss, or consequential damage arising from: (a)

misuse of the product; (b) failure to comply with this Manual; (c) failure to inspect under the Pre-Session

Inspection process; (d) use beyond the 12-month consumable service life of the latex tubing; (e)

modification or repair of any component; (f) use by an untrained or unsupervised third party to whom you

transferred the kit without compliance with the Transfer section; (g) bypassing the back-strap Tube

Routing Guides such that resistance tubes are not seated within their corresponding guides during use; or

(h) any condition listed in Medical Contraindications, is excluded.

3. Limit where liability cannot be excluded. Where liability cannot be excluded under the Australian

Consumer Law and the goods are not 'goods of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or

household use or consumption' (s.64A ACL), the Supplier's liability is limited, at the Supplier's election, to:

(a) replacement of the product or supply of equivalent goods; (b) repair of the product; or (c) payment of

the cost of replacement or equivalent supply.

4. Voluntary assumption of risk. The user expressly assumes the obvious risks associated with use of

stored-energy resistance training equipment, including but not limited to: catastrophic latex failure,

projectile ejection of components, joint or tendon injury from explosive movement, and skin or

dermatological injury from contact with elastic tubing or harness components. Pursuant to section 5L of the

Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW) and equivalent legislation in other Australian states and territories, the

Supplier owes no duty of care in respect of harm suffered by the user as a result of the materialisation of

an obvious risk of this dangerous recreational activity.

5. Contributory negligence. If the user contributed to their own injury through (without limitation) failure to

inspect, failure to follow the Setup Guide (including failure to thread resistance tubes through the

back-strap routing guides), failure to heed Stop Conditions, or use of the product in a manner inconsistent

with this Manual, the Supplier's liability is reduced under section 5R of the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW)

and equivalent legislation, in proportion to the user's contribution.

6. Indemnity. The user indemnifies and holds harmless the Supplier from and against all claims,

demands, actions, suits, costs, losses, and damages arising from the user's use of the product in breach of

this Manual, or arising from the use of the product by any third party to whom the user transferred the kit

without complying with the Transfer section.

7. Severability. If any provision of this Manual is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent

jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

8. Governing law and jurisdiction. This Manual and the user's relationship with the Supplier are

governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the

courts of New South Wales.

9. Entire agreement. This Manual, together with the signed Acknowledgement Form, constitutes the

entire agreement between the user and the Supplier with respect to the safe use of the product. No prior

representation, warranty, or understanding (oral or written) survives execution of the Acknowledgement

Form.
