BARRY B-NET SYSTEM • INSTALLATION GUIDELINES rev. 5
3. Before use
These installation guidelines apply exclusively to factory assembled Barry B-Net Systems. Use of
individual components outside of factory assembled Barry B-Net Systems, and/or any substitution or
modification of any components may cause serious injury or death and voids product warranty.
Alpine skiing is a potentially dangerous sport and the Barry B-Net System should be installed in conformity with
these installation guidelines. Installation (in whole or in part) made outside of these installation guidelines must
be made under the supervision of a qualified authority (see below). The efficacy of the Barry B-Net System may be
seriously compromised if any of the basic requirements are modified. Any installation of safety net systems
should be documented and conducted under the supervision of a qualified authority, who will be responsible for
the entire period that the safety nets are installed and used and who shall provide ongoing instructions for
personnel for any required adjustments to be made.
Barry recommends that Barry B-Net Systems be installed during training and with the same standard of care and
concern as would be given during a race. Risk of a skier fall may be greater during training as more runs are
performed and often new equipment and techniques are tested during training and speed may be greater.
