Safety notices are released by the
certification agencies and are also
published on the relevant
websites. Services such as RSS
are also available which allow
internet users to follow various websites and
any changes made to them without having to
access them individually. This allows much
more information to be followed than was
previously the case. You should therefore
visit the safety pages of the certification
agencies on a regular basis and keep up-to-
date with new safety notices which cover any
products connected with paragliding (refer to
Appendix for addresses).
