Rescue Parachute User Manual

1. 

Purpose

Our GLOBE parachute is designed for solo flying

 and tandem

 paraglider pilots. In 

case of serious paraglider malfunction rendering further flight impossible, our 
system reduces the sink rate and allows for safe landing. 

As standard, the system comes packed in its inner bag, ready to be inserted into 
harness-integrated container. Your harness should be equipped with its own 
release handle and V- or H-shaped risers, leading from the shoulder straps to the 
container. If any of these are missing, contact your harness dealer and/or 
manufacturer, since length and shape of those parts can vary with harness model 
and must exactly fit the one you are using. 

As an option, you can get at Dudek Paragliders the externally mounted container, 
its release handle and V-risers. It can be attached to the front or side of the 
harness, depending on your preferences and harness characteristics.

Rescue parachute is activated manually by releasing the handle, pulling the bag 
out of the container and throwing it out along the direction of the airflow (together 
with the handle).
