3.9.4 Deep stall
Under normal conditions does not occur. If you want to prevent it happen at
all, simply stick to a couple of rules:
■
after B-stall, release the risers quickly and evenly. Don't be afraid -
Snake XX does not jump forward excessively.
■
after big ears execution, engage the speed system. This will increase
both the sink rate and safety margin, as big ears constitute an effective
aerodynamic brake with significant loss speed.
Nevertheless, if such a parachutal stall happens e.g. due to strong turbulence,
simply apply some pressure on speed bar and/or push the A risers forward.
You can release the trims too.
3.9.5 Line over (cravatte)
Snake XX is a modern wing which, in order to decrease drag, has fewer
suspension lines and greater distances in between. Therefore it's always
possible that after a tuck one of the stabilisers may tangle in the lines. Usually
a couple of pulls with a brake settles the matter. If it's not enough, try to
untangle it with big ears or a stronger pull on the risers.
In case of any doubts you should seriously consider a rescue chute. It is there
as a normal equipment part, not just an ornament.
3.9.6 Emergency steering
In case of any malfunction that renders normal steering impossible, you can
safely steer and land Snake XX using the D-risers (blue marking) or stabilo
lines.

4.1 STORAGE
Snake XX's design incorporates newest technologies, including nylon lines in
the leading edge. That's why the paraglider should be carefully packed, with
proper conditions ensured for transport and storage.
Basic rules to be followed when folding the canopy:
1. Fold it accordion-wise rib to rib (cell by cell). Do not fold it by halves,
placing the stabilizers at the centerline.
2. When a compact package is crated on the longest chord do not roll it, but
