General advice about paragliding
Flying a paraglider calls for appropriate training and a sound knowlege
of the subject, and of course the requisite insurance cover and licen-
ces . A tandem pilot must be able to correctly assess the meteorologi-
cal conditions before taking off . His or her capabilities must match the
responsibilities of tandem flying .
The wearing of an adequate helmet, suitable shoes and clothing of pilot
and passenger as well as carrying an emergency reserve parachute
are indispensable . All components of the equipment must be checked
for damage and airworthiness before every flight . A thorough pre-flight
check should also be carried out .
The pilot bears sole responsibility when making a tandem flight . Neither
the manufacturer nor the seller of a paraglider can guarantee, or be
held responsible for, the safety of pilot and passenger .
