• Paragliding is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause serious injury including bodily harm, paralysis
and death. Flying an Ozone paraglider is undertaken with the full knowledge that paragliding involves
such risks.
• As the owner of an Ozone paraglider you take exclusive responsibility for all risks associated with its use.
Inappropriate use and or abuse of your equipment will increase these risks.
• Any liability claims resulting from use of this product towards the manufacturer, distributor or dealers
are excluded.
• Be prepared to practice as much as you can - especially ground handling, as this is a critical aspect of
paragliding. Poor control while on the ground is one of the most common causes of accidents.
• Be ready to continue your learning by attending advanced courses to follow the evolution of our sport,
as techniques and materials keep improving.
• Use only certified paragliders, harnesses with protector and reserve parachutes that are free from
modification, and use them only within their certified weight ranges. Please remember that flying a glider
outside its certified configuration may jeopardise any insurance (e.g. liability, life etc) you have. It is your
responsibility as the pilot to verify your insurance cover.
• Make sure you complete a thorough daily and preflight inspection of all of your equipment. Never
attempt flying with unsuitable or damaged equipment.
• Always wear a helmet, gloves and boots.
• All pilots should have the appropriate level of license for their respective country and third party
insurance.
• Make sure that you are physically and mentally healthy before flying.
• Choose the correct wing, harness and conditions for your level of experience.
• Pay special attention to the terrain you will be flying and the weather conditions before you launch. If you
are unsure do not fly, and always add a large safety margin to all your decisions.
• NEVER fly your glider in rain, snow, strong wind, turbulent weather conditions or clouds.
• If you use good, safe judgment you will enjoy many years of paragliding.
Remember, PLEASURE is the reason for our sport
Everyone at Ozone continues to be driven by our passion for flying, our love of adventure and our quest to
see Ozone’s paraglider development create better, safer and more versatile paragliders.
The design team consists of David Dagault, Luc Armant, Fred Pieri, Russell Ogden, and Honorin Hamard.
Dav has a wealth of experience in competition flying, XC, XAlps and paraglider design. Luc, a dedicated XC
and competition addict has a background in naval architecture. Fred, our resident geek is a mathematician,
mechanical engineer and vol Biv specialist. Russ is a competition pilot and test pilot with 1000s of hours
testing experience. Hono has been flying since he was 13, he is a naturally talented pilot that has already
become world champion. Between them, they bring a wealth of knowledge, ideas and experience and
work closely together in the design and testing process.
Mike Cavanagh is the boss and multiple winner of the UK XC league. When he’s not out flying he generally
keeps control of the mayhem. Promotion and team pilots are organised by BASE jumping legend and mini
wing specialist Matt Gerdes. He works closely with graphic designer Loren Cox. Loren is a keen pilot from
Salt Lake city, USA.
Back in the office Karine Marconi, Chloe Vila and Isabelle Martinez run the show. These wonderful ladies
look after the ordering system, the dealers, the design team and the general day to day running of the
company - without them it would be chaos.
Our manufacturing facility in Vietnam is headed up by Dr Dave Pilkington who works relentlessly
manufacturing gliders and producing prototypes as well as researching materials and manufacturing
processes for our future products. He is backed up by a superb team managed by Khanh and Phong with
over 700 production staff.
