Safety advice

The ZIP Light front container is only to be used for paragliding.

It is important that the ends of the ZIP Light front container 

Y-connections are hung in the harness carabiners before the paraglider 
risers. In addition, the carabiner gates must face rearwards (opposite 

the flight direction), so that, if the reserve is thrown, the reserve con-
nection does not cross the paraglider risers.

Correct installation of the reserve must be tested by means of a per-
sonal trial release (compatibility test).

General recommendations for paragliding

Paragliding requires suitable training and an adequate knowledge of 
the equipment, as well as the necessary insurance and licence. A pilot 
must be able to correctly assess the current weather conditions before 

embarking on a flight. In addition the pilot’s flying skills must be ade-
quate for the demands of the paraglider and equipment to be used.

Wearing an adequate helmet, suitable footwear and clothing, and the 

carriage of an emergency parachute are all essential. Before every 
flight all parts of the equipment should be checked for damage and 
airworthiness. A takeoff check must be carried out before every flight.

Every pilot bears sole responsibility for his own paragliding risks, in-

cluding injury and death. Neither the manufacturer or seller of a para-
glider can guarantee the safety of a pilot, or be held responsible for it.
