3.4- Tandem flying
The WANì can be used for a tandem passenger
3.5- Flying over water
There are no specific problems connected to flying above water using an WANì harness, but in any case, landing in water is always dangerous.
Woody Valley recommends using a suitable lifejacket when flying above water.
3.6- Assisted take-off hook
WANì harness can be used for towed launches. The tow bridle release should be hooked directly to the main karabiners, ensuring that the
karabiners are positioned with the opening bar facing the rear. For further details, refer to the documentation provided with your tow release,
or ask a qualified towing instructor at your flying site.
3.7- Landing with WANì
Before landing, slide your legs out and off the seat surface, 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 up before landing is an active safety precaution, and it is much more effective than passive forms of protection.
3.8- Disposing of the harness
The materials used in a paragliding harness require correct disposal. Please give your harness back to us instead of throwing it away, we’ll
take care of its correct disposal.
3.9- Regulations for behaviour in natural environments
Please respect the nature and landscapes that surround us when practising sport. 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.
