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.
