1. FOR YOUR SAFETY
The use of paragliders is subject to various regulations. They may not be
flown without a valid certification. Any attempt to fly is highly dangerous.
This manual does not replace the need to attend a paragliding school.
The paraglider may only be used for the purpose for which it is designed.
Please do not use it as a parachute.
Use of the paraglider is at your own risk. The manufacturer is not legally
responsible for any personal injury or material damage which occurs in
connection with Swing paragliders.
Please note that the test-flight must only be carried out by a specialist. The
test-flight must be recorded on the paraglider information label.
Do not under any circumstances tow your paraglider with a car, motorboat or
any similar vehicle which is not fitted with a suitable towing system operated
by an experienced winch operator.
Before towing, ensure that the winch operator has the appropriate training
and licences.
Aerobatics are prohibited in Germany - check the situation in your country.
Do not under any circumstances alter the construction of your paraglider. If
you do, any claims under the warranty will not be accepted.
When you fly for the first time, use training slopes only.
When flying, always wear a helmet, gloves, suitable clothing and shoes
which protect your ankles.
Only fly if the wind speed, direction and weather conditions guarantee a safe
flight.
