> Before you land, assume an upright position, put your legs together, bend your knees
slightly and prepare to do a parachute landing fall.
> After landing in strong winds, pull the canopy toward you using the middle lines to keep
the reserve chute from inflating again.
TIP: POORLY MAINTAINED RESERVE CHUTES MAY OPEN MORE SLOWLY. IF THIS IS
THE CASE, PULL FIRMLY AND SHARPLY ON THE LINES!

NECTING LINES OF THE HARNESS ARE LOCATED.
