Caution! Accident risk!
Counter-braking too strongly can result in a stall on the inflated side.
FULL STALL
A full stall could occur if full brake is applied during the flight. The paraglider slows
down, surges backwards and deflates. If the brakes are held down, the canopy
comes up over the pilot again. The result is an almost vertical descent with a sink
rate of about 8-12m/s.
Recovery
Fully release the brakes within 3 seconds. If you release the brakes too slowly, the
paraglider may spin. The spin stops automatically when the brakes are released
completely.
Caution! Accident risk!
If the canopy has gone backwards, you must hold the brakes down, or the canopy
can surge forward and, in an extreme case, end up underneath the pilot. Hold the
brakes down until the canopy is above you again.
SPIN
Spins occur when one side of the canopy stalls. The other side still continues to fly
forward, while the stalled side turns in the opposite direction.
RECOVERY
Quickly release the brakes.
Note!
If the spin does not stop:
1. Check whether you have released the brakes fully.
2. Is the spin still doesn’t stop, use your recovery system.
Caution! Accident risk!
In strong turbulence, always keep far enough away from rock faces and other
obstacles. You need time and enough height to recover from extreme situations.
