8.4 Flight behaviour
Forward speed reduces risk of injury
The human body is most vulnerable to injury when the velocity vector is directed
towards the spine and the impact area is at right angles to that axis.
A forward speed in combination with considerably lower sink rates is thus always
associated with a lower risk of injury than an impact at right angle and higher vertical
speed, even if forward speed is increased by tailwind.
Lower sink rates allow for more time to react
The low sink rate gives the pilot more time to prepare for landing.
We thus recommend the following course of action after rescue system deployment:
1)
Pull handle, remove inside container from harness or outside container, throw
the container down, direction legs. Check after 5 seconds if the canopy has
opened properly.
2)
Orientation
– check altitude
3)
Open the zip fastener of the harness and move legs out of the harness
