, and is a highly recommended safety item
Many different mounting locations and methods are possible and acceptable, and the one you choose
depends on many things such as which hand you want to deploy with, what type of reserve you have,
where you prefer to mount it (front, left or right side), etc For this reason, FLY PRODUCTS cannot
make a generalized statement of what the best mounting configuration is for you It is highly recommend
that you seek assistance from your PPG instructor on the mounting of your reserve parachute It is also
highly recommended that you receive training (a reserve parachute clinic) covering topics reserve
deployment topics such as reserve re-packing and parachute care, performing a PLF (Parachute Landing
Fall), and when to make the decision to deploy your reserve
WARNING!
A reserve parachute is a life-saving backup system, to be used in life-threatening
emergencies only A reserve parachute should never be deployed “for fun” or to “see what it’s like” A
reserve parachute deployment is an extremely dangerous event You surrender control over your aircraft,
you have no choice as to your landing location and could land on rocks, roads, Power lines, etc Even
with a correctly deployed parachute, your impact speed with the ground is significant Also, reserve
parachutes are not guaranteed to deploy correctly Remember the expression, “A reserve parachute isn’t
your second chance, it’s your last chance” Carry a reserve parachute, and deploy it only if it is absolutely
necessary
