Don´t forget to remove the cords used to help 
pack the rescue system!! 

The cord should be pulled out slowly 

in order not to damage the elastic loops by excessive friction. 

Compatibility check 

A control of every new combination of rescue system and harness/outer container 
has to be carried out by either the producer of the harness or the rescue system or 
an authorized person (dealer or flight instructor). 

The  activation  of  the  rescue  system  in  flight  position  has  to  be  correct  and  in 
conformity to the construction guidelines.  

The check has to be recorded in the documentation of the rescue system.  
The  throwing  movement  should  be  practiced  every  time  the  rescue  system 
is repacked. 

IMPORTANT POINTS TO LOOK OUT FOR: 

 

  Check (steady) 

   connection of the rescue system to your harness 

   connection of the harness and deployment handle 

 

line from the fixing loops is removed (after each packing) 

 

Check compatibility of rescue system and harness 

 

Before each start with your glider you have to check the  container 

is     

closed!!! 

Reserve parachute deployment 

It  is  vital  to feel periodically  for  the position of  the  reserve  parachute  deployment 
handle  during  normal  flight,  so  that  the  action  of  reaching  for  the  reserve 
parachute handle becomes instinctive in an emergency. In emergency situations, 
the deployment procedure is as follows: 

  Look for the reserve parachute handle and grasp it firmly with one hand. 

  Pull  the  handle  outwards  in  order  to  extract  the  reserve  parachute  from  the 

harness container.  

  Look for a clear area, and, in a continuous motion, throw the reserve parachute 

away from yourself and the paraglider.  

  After the reserve parachute has opened, avoid entanglement by pulling in the 

paraglider,  gripping  at  least  one  back  strap of  the  risers  or  the brake  lines,  in 
order  to  collapse  the  glider.  On  landing,  adopt  an  upright  body  position,  and 
ensure that you perform a PLF (Parachute Landing Fall) to minimize the risk of 
injury.
