SNUG Owner’s Manual
RECREATIONAL HARNESS
Welcome to BGD
Thank you for choosing BGD. We hope you will enjoy your new SNUG harness as much as we do. Our mission is to build
paragliding products with personality: exceptional equipment with the refined handling and innovative qualities that
BGD has become renowned for. We love the feeling of being connected to the air through our wings, and our products
are designed with that in mind. Our goal is to make products that pilots love to fly.
Safety
Please read this manual from beginning to end before using your SNUG harness. Paragliding is a potentially dangerous
sport that can cause serious injury including bodily harm, paralysis and even death. Inappropriate use or abuse of your
equipment will increase these risks, and any kind of modification to the harness invalidates the certification.
The SNUG harness and its back protector conform to the testing criteria of the EN 1651:199 & LTF 2.
Please note that no protector can offer 100% protection against injuries, and in particular, the back protector can not
be guaranteed to prevent injuries to the spine. The SNUG’s protector is removable. It can only offer protection if it is
correctly positioned and fixed with the Velcro. The protector should not be used in temperatures exceeding 40°C or
below -20°C.
You take exclusive responsibility for all risks associated with the use of the harness. Any liability claims resulting from
use of this product towards the manufacturer, distributor or dealers is excluded.
It is important to complete a thorough daily and pre-flight inspection of all of your equipment. Never attempt to fly
with unsuitable or damaged equipment. Always use the appropriate safety equipment including a reserve, helmet,
