What to do when it happens?
If you find yourself in an uncontrollable situation in the air, pull hard on the deployment
handle. This will open the outer reserve container and release the reserve parachute. Then
throw the reserve package forcefully away from you. As the suspension lines become tight,
the container will fall away and the reserve will open.
If your glider is rotating it pays to throw the reserve against the rotation as this will speed up
the inflating process. If you have had a collision and find yourself entangled with someone
else’s glider tries to make sure you don’t throw the canopy into the entanglement, as this will
delay the opening.
When you are flying recurrently grab the position of the handle
so you can find it in an emergency!!
If you have enough height, first try to resolve the problem and
stabilize the rescue as far as possible
(danger of screwing of the bailout).
If you have not enough height don´t hesitate for
pulling the rescue.
Do not forget to unhand the rescue handle!
