3.4 - Flying over water
MK1 PRO does not have any particular disadvantages when flying over
water, but remember that landing in water is still dangerous.
Woody Valley recommends using a suitable life jacket when flying above
water.
3.5 - Assisted take-off hook
MK1 PRO harnesses cannot be used for towed launches.
It is not advisable to attach the take-off hook directly onto the main snap-
hooks, as it may cause the 3-ring release system to not work properly.
3.6 - Landing with MK1 PRO
Before landing, slide your legs out of the harness so that you
take up a standing position. Never land in the seated position; it is very
dangerous for your back even if you have foam dorsal protection, which
provides exclusively passive protection. Standing upright before landing is
an active safety system and is much more effective.
3.7 - Disposing of the harness
The materials used in a paragliding harness must be disposed of correctly.
Please return the equipment to us at the end of its life. We will take care of
disposing of it correctly.
3.8 - Regulations for behaviour in natural environments
Please respect the nature and landscapes that surround us when practis-
ing sport. Please do not leave marked trails, do not dispose of waste, do
not make loud noises and please respect the delicate balance that exists in
the mountains.
3.9 - Tandem flying
MK 1 PRO is not suitable as a tandem harness.
