Towing 

The Safari Passenger isn’t equipped with an extra system for towing.

 

The tow release can be 

connected to the main carabiners of the tandem spreader bar. The best way to attach a tow 

release is to use a towing adapter, which slides over the lower ends of the risers of the 
paraglider before attaching to the main carabiners. For further details, refer to the 

documentation provided with your tow release or towing adaptor or ask a qualified towing 

instructor at your tow site.

  

Flying over water 

The Safari Passenger is not recommended for the extreme manoeuvres. But in any case, for all 
other flights over water, the back protection should be removed, due to the increased 

possibility of drowning after a water landing. 

Act responsibly and help preserve your flying sites 

Please observe all local rules at the flying sites you use. It is important not to endanger the 
preservation of flying sites that are a vital necessity to the enjoyment of our beautiful sport.
