15. Landing
While on final approach, get your legs out of the pod and assume upright position. Touchdown when still sitting is unacceptable and
very dangerous, as even despite the protector there is high risk of spine injury. Land always on your feet, with a few steps to bleed off
the speed if necessary. Protector is not a landing aid and was not designed as such.
16. Water landing
Water landing is potentially very dangerous, with imminent risk of drowning. If it is unavoidable, prepare yourself by releasing all the
buckles and straps beforehand. In the last moment get out of the harness to avoid getting tangled in suspension lines or other gear.
The harness does not sink, so you can later grab it and use as a lifebuoy.
!
Water landing while still in harness is extremely dangerous. As the protector does not sink and will always float, it will force your head
under water, rendering breathing very hard or impossible. There is very high risk of getting tangled in lines and drowning.
17. Tandem flying
The Pogo3 harness was not designed - and remains unsuitable - for tandem operations.
