of the wing. Light braking will reduce the forward surge and will help to speed up the
opening of the canopy. If the Pilot grabs the brakes too roughly, a dangerous stall
could result.
the parachutal stall:
The paraglider has no forward speed and a much increased descent rate.
The Parachutal Stall may follow a too passively released B-line Stall.
Porous canopy fabric (excessive UV-degradation) or frequent, strong towing
(stretched A-lines) results in an increased risk of a Parachutal Stall.
The pilot can recover from the Parachutal Stall by slightly pushing the A-risers
forward at the mallions or by using the accelerator.
The skywalk POISON 2 usually exits the Parachutal Stall automatically.

Wingover:
Alternating left/right turns lead to an increased banking of the canopy. The load on
the outside wing tip to a minimum (the tip starts to feel light). Further turns and higher
banking is not recommended at this stage as the canopy might collapse on the inside
wing section. To pick up speed brake gently to dampen the forward surge of the sky-
walk POISON 2 and to counteract a possible Front Tuck.
