Introduction
Even the best pilots, flying the best new paragliders or hang-gliders, can
sometimes, due to violent atmospheric conditions, collisions, etc., find
themselves with their glider damaged, disabled, or tangled, and
irremediably out of control. In such cases, reliable emergency systems
with fast opening parachutes can make difference between a simple scare
and fatal accident.
MAC is happy and proud that its emergency systems, developed and
perfected over a number of years, have saved the lives of many pilots.
This handbook describes four models of MAC emergency systems: for
attachment to paraglider harness (one for lighter, two for heavier and one
for tandem pilots).
MAINTENANCE
Your MAC EMERGENCY SYSTEM has been designed for low-speed
deployment. Do not, under any circumstances use the EMERGENCY
SYSTEM for free-fall parachuting.
Nylon is very susceptible to UVA rays, therefore it is very important to
keep the canopy out of sunlight. The container will protect the canopy
from UVA rays. When storing the parachute it should be kept in a cool
dry place, since mildew grows in nylon.
To clean the MAC EMERGENCY SYSTEM all parts should be soaked in
a solution of lukewarm water and mild soap, then allowed to drip dry (out
of sunlight).
If needed, repairs should be referred back to MAC PARA
TECHNOLOGY, Ltd.
