For your safety

Your  PROTECT  reserve  leads  the  way  in  the  development  standard  for  reserve  gliders.  It  will 
remain airworthy for many years if you look after it properly.

Please  be  aware  at  all  times  that  any  air  sport  is  potentially  dangerous  and  that,  at  the  end  of  the 
day, you are personally responsible for your own safety.

We therefore recommend in particular that you fly in a conservative manner. This applies both to the 
choice of conditions in which you fly and also to the safety reserve which you factor into your flying 
manoeuvres.

We  recommend  that  you  only  fly  with  a  glider  and  harness  which  have  been  tested  and  certified, 
and that you wear a suitable helmet.

You  will  also  find  further  information  concerning  your  safety at  certain  points  in  this  manual.  This 
information is indicated by two symbols:

Caution! Accident risk!

This  symbol  indicates  risks  which  may  arise.  We  also  explain  how  you  can  avoid  the 
risk or how you should react if the situation arises.

Tip!

This  symbol  is  used  when  we  give  advice  on  correct  handling  of  the  reserve  system, 
how to protect it from damage and general information.
