WARNING: If you are in any doubt about
any aspect of rescue installation, seek a
professional authorised by GIN for assistance.
IMPORTANT: You must perform a test
deployment from a simulator to verify the
installation.
Before you fly
Make sure your harness has been check by a professional authorised by GIN for completeness and basic
settings. Your harness must be assembled by a suitably qualified paragliding professional.
Rescue Installation and compatibility check
Gin Gliders recommend that rescue installation is performed properly by a competent person. The
rescue parachute is a pilots last resort and failure to pack or connect the reserve parachute in the correct
way may cause death or severe injury. The pilot is responsible for ensuring proper installation.
This harness is compatible with the Yeti #50 and #60 rescue parachutes. Other manufacturers’
rescues may also be used but we cannot guarantee their function. The pilot is responsible for checking
compatibility.
Every installation of a rescue system into the harness must be checked by a qualified paragliding
professional for compatibility. To verify the installation, you must perform a test deployment by sitting
in a simulator. Make sure that the rescue parachute can be released from the rescue container—it must
be done by you, the pilot, sitting in the harness hanging from a simulator. The pilot should be able to pull
the rescue free from the harness with one hand. If the rescue becomes stuck or is difficult to extract from
the rescue container then the harness and rescue may not be compatible and should not be used together.
