Safety advice

Paragliding   demand   a   high   level   of   individual   responsibility.   Prudence   and   risk-awareness   are
basic   requirements   for   the   safe   practice   of   the   sport,   for   the   very   reason   that   it   is   so   easy   to
learn   and   practically   anyone   can   do   so.   Carelessness   and   overestimating   one’s   own   abilities
can   quickly   lead   to   critical   situations.   A   reliable   assessment   of   conditions   for   ퟿�ying   is
particularly   important.   Paragliders   are   not   designed   to   be   ퟿�own   in   turbulent   weather.   Most
serious   accidents   with   paragliders   are   caused   by   pilots   misjudging   the   weather   for   ퟿�ying.
            In   Germany,   paragliders   are   subject   to   the   guidelines   for   air   sports   equipment   and   must   not
under   any   circumstances   be   ퟿�own   without   a   valid   certi퟿�cation.   Independent   experimentation
is   strictly   prohibited.   This   Manual   does   not   replace   the   need   to   attend   training   at   a   paragliding
school.
            The   manual   must   be   passed   on   to   any   new   owner   if   the   paraglider   is   sold.   It   is   part   of   the
certi퟿�cation   and   belongs   with   the   paraglider.
         Observe   the   other   speci퟿�c   safety   advice   in   the   various   sections   of   this   manual.

Safety notices

Safety   notices   are   issued   when   defects   arise   during   use   of   a   paraglider   which   could   possibly
also   aퟍ�ect   other   gliders   of   the   same   model.   The   notices   contain   instructions   on   how   the
aퟍ�ected   gliders   can   be   inspected   for   possible   faults   and   the   steps   required   to   rectify   them.
            Gin   Gliders   publishes   on   its   website   any   technical   safety   notices   and   airworthiness
instructions   which   are   issued   in   respect   of   GIN   products.   The   paraglider   owner   is   responsible
for   carrying   out   the   action   required   by   the   safety   notice.
            Safety   notices   are   issued   by   the   certi퟿�cation   agencies   and   also   published   on   the   relevant
websites.   You   should   therefore   visit   on   a   regular   basis   the   safety   pages   of   the   certi퟿�cation
agencies   and   keep   up-to-date   with   new   safety   notices   which   cover   any   products   relating   to
paragliding.
