RESCUE INSTALLATION
RESCUE INSTALLATION AND COMPATIBILITY CHECK
Gin Gliders recommend that rescue installation is performed properly by a competent person. The rescue
parachute is a pilot’s last resort and failure to pack or connect the reserve parachute in the correct way may cause
death or severe injury. The pilot is responsible for ensuring proper installation.
This harness is compatible with the Yeti UL, G-Lite (please check rescue size and volume), Yeti and Yeti Cross
rescue parachutes. Other manufacturers’ rescues may also be used but we cannot guarantee their function. The
pilot is responsible for checking compatibility.
Every first installation of a rescue system into the harness (that means every new combination of harness and
rescue system) must be checked by a qualified paragliding professional for compatibility. To verify the installation,
you must perform a test deployment by sitting in a simulator.
Rescue parachutes should be repacked at least every 150 days; so installing your rescue in a new harness may
also provide a good opportunity for a repack. After every repack of the rescue parachute you should also do a
compatibility check.
The harness is delivered with its own rescue container. All current GIN rescue inner containers can be added to the
rescue deployment handle. This might not be the case for other manufacturers.
RESCUE COMPATIBILITY
MAKE SURE THAT THE RESCUE PARACHUTE CAN BE RELEASED FROM THE RESCUE CONTAINER—it must
be done by you, the pilot, sitting in the harness hanging from a simulator.
RESCUE DEPLOYMENT
To deploy the rescue; locate the handle, with a firm grip pull the handle towards the pilot and slightly away from
the harness to extract the rescue from the harness compartment. In the same motion that pulls the rescue from the
compartment swing the rescue by the handle while looking for clear airspace (clear of lines, glider and harness).
Release your grip of the handle and allow both handle and rescue to travel through the air extending the rescue
lines as it goes. The rescue should come out of the deployment bag and start to inflate once the rescue lines have
been extended.
In a negative spin the decent speed of the the pilot and wing is much less than in a spiral situation. Therefore it is
very important to throw the rescue away from the pilot with as much power as possible to quickly extend the lines
and prevent the rescue from becoming entangled with the paraglider.
For further information on rescue deployment please refer to your rescue manual.
WARNING:
If you are in any doubt about any
aspect of rescue installation, seek professional advice!
IMPORTANT:
You must perform a test deploy-
ment from a simulator to verify the installation.
