THANK YOU! 

 

We would like to thank you for having chosen one of our products, and we invite you to read this important document, the User Manual for the harness. Please pay 
special attention to the two most important paragraphs, regarding: 
 

Insertion of the reserve parachute. 

The reserve parachute is a piece of equipment that may save your life. It must be treated so that it works correctly when it is required, whether this happens in 
two days’ time, or two years from now. 
 

Adjusting the harness. 

The harness forms the connection between the pilot and the paraglider, and it is an essential component in optimizing performance and the pleasure of flying. A 
bad harness that is well adjusted may enable you to fly well, but a good harness that is badly adjusted may put you off flying altogether. 
 
We are confident that this harness will give you greater comfort, control, performance and enjoyment in flight. We are conscious of the fact that reading an 
instruction manual is not an exciting experience. However, please remember that the respective product is not a citrus juicer or a mobile phone, and that correct 
use of the harness helps reduce the risk of flying accidents. This manual contains all the information necessary to assemble, adjust, fly and store your harness. 
Thorough knowledge of your equipment will improve your personal safety and your level of flying. 
 

The Woody Valley team 

 
 
 
 
 

SAFETY NOTE 

You have purchased a piece of equipment manufactured by us, and 
so you are aware of your identity as a paraglider pilot holding the 
respective pilot’s licence, and you accept all the risks connected to 
paragliding including the possibility of injury and death. The 
incorrect or inappropriate use of Woody Valley equipment greatly 
increases this risk. In no case can Woody Valley and the Woody Valley 
retailer be held responsible for personal injury caused to yourself or 
to third parties, or for whatever type of damage. If you have any 
doubts on the use of our equipment, please contact your retailer or 
the importer for your country.
