Paragliding is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause serious injury
including bodily harm, paralysis and death. Flying an Ozone paraglider is
undertaken with the full knowledge that paragliding involves such risks.
As the owner of an Ozone paraglider you take exclusive responsibility for all
risks associated with its use. Inappropriate use and or abuse of your equip-
ment will increase these risks.
Any liability claims resulting from use of this product towards the manufac-
turer, distributor or dealers are excluded.
Be prepared to practice as much as you can - especially ground handling,
as this is a critical aspect of paragliding. Poor control while on the ground is
one of the most common causes of accidents.
Be ready to continue your learning by attending advanced courses to follow
the evolution of our sport, as techniques and materials keep improving.
Use only certified paragliders, harnesses with protector and reserve para-
chutes that are free from modification, and use them only within their certi-
fied weight ranges. Please remember that flying a glider outside its certified
configuration may jeopardise any insurance (e.g. liability, life etc) you have.
It is your responsibility as the pilot to verify your insurance cover.
Make sure you complete a thorough daily and pre-flight inspection of all of
your equipment. Never attempt flying with unsuitable or damaged equip-
ment.
Always wear a helmet, gloves and boots.
All pilots should have the appropriate level of license for their respective
country and third party insurance.
Make sure that you are physically and mentally healthy before flying.
Choose the correct wing, harness and conditions for your level of experi-
ence.
Pay special attention to the terrain you will be flying and the weather condi-
tions before you launch. If you are unsure do not fly, and always add a large
safety margin to all your decisions.
Avoid flying your glider in rain, snow, strong wind, and turbulent weather
conditions or clouds.
If you use good, safe judgment you will enjoy many years of paragliding.
Remember, PLEASURE is the reason for our sport
Everyone at Ozone continues to be driven by our passion
for flying, our love of adventure and our quest to see
Ozone’s paraglider development create better, safer and
more versatile paragliders.
Paragliding design is led by the ever thoughtful David Dagault; Dav has a
wealth of experience both in competition, adventure flying and paraglider
design. Also on the design team are Russell Ogden, Luc Armant and Fred
Pieri.
Russ is a top competition pilot and ex paragliding instructor, he can usually
be found putting Dav’s latest creation through a series of test manoeuvres.
Luc, a dedicated XC addict has a background in naval architecture. He
brings a wealth of knowledge and ideas to the design team and works
closely with Dav in the design process.
Fred is the latest addition to the team. He is a mathematian, mechanical
engineer and vol Biv specialist. Fred designed the Anti-G and was the
brainchild of the shark nose.
Back in the office Mike ‘Da Boss’ Cavanagh generally keeps control of the
mayhem. Promotion and Team pilots are organised by Matt Gerdes. Karine
Marconi, Jill Devine and Chloe Vila make sure we don’t spend too much
money and look after the ordering system.
Our manufacturing facility in Vietnam is headed up by Dr Dave Pilkington,
who works relentlessly manufacturing gliders and producing prototypes as
well as researching materials and manufacturing processes for our future
products. He is backed up by Khanh and 700 production staff.
