7. Mode of operation
In the case of an emergency situation during flight, deploy the reserve parachute by
pulling the release handle with a firm and quick motion. This causes the outer
container to open and the parachute (still packed inside the inner container) is
deployed into the airstream. The release handle is thereby thrown away together with
the reserve system!
The inner container is constructed in such a way that it releases the suspension lines
and the canopy with a little time lag. This way, unintended early opening is prevented
