14. Landing
While on the final approach, assume upright position and get your legs ready for landing. Touchdown when still sitting is unacceptable
and very dangerous, as even despite the protector there is high risk of spine injury. Land always on your feet, with a few steps to
bleed the speed off if necessary. The protector is NOT a landing aid and was not designed as such.
15. Waterlanding
Waterlanding can be potentially very dangerous, with possible death by drowning. If waterlanding is inevitable, once you are low over
the water simply cut the breast strap including the V-strap where the carabiners are fixed. Keep your feet on the footrest then, so
that you won't fall out of the harness indvertently. Instead, slid out of it just before touching the water in order to stay free of lines or
any other paraglider part. Watching out that you are not entangled you can use your harness as floating device, since it won't sink.
!
Waterlanding while still seated in the harness is extremely dangerous.
The protector does not sink and will always float, forcing your head under
water and rendering breathing very hard or impossible. Additionally, there is
very high risk of getting tangled in lines and drowning.
16. Tandem flying
The Techno harness was not designed and remains unsuitable for tandem operations.
