PARACHUTE DEPLOYMENT
If you are in the unfortunate situation of needing to throw your reserve, do so with conviction:
Look; Reach; Pull; Throw.
• Look at the handle, grab it and pull so the retaining pins are released. The parachute can only be thrown with the right hand.
• Pull out the deployment bag, it is best to pull towards the outside so that the parachute extracts sideways from the pocket, pulling the handle
upwards may not allow the parachute to release properly. Know your equipment and adapt your technique accordingly.
• Throw the parachute away from you as hard as you can into clear space, not towards your wing. It is important at this stage to remember to LET
GO of the handle. Aim to throw with the direction of airflow to aid a fast opening and against the direction of rotation.
• If after throwing the parachute does not deploy (possible in low energy emergencies e.g. parachutal stall), grab the reserve bridle and give it a strong
pull. This will help encourage the parachute to open faster.
• As the parachute deploys, the next stage is to concentrate on disabling the paraglider. There are several ways to do this – B line stall; rear riser stall;
gathering the canopy by working up the A lines until you have the material in your hands or using the brakes to stall the wing. The best technique
depends entirely on the situation. The most important thing to remember is to completely disable the wing so that it does not act against the
parachute and cause a down-plane. Whichever method you choose do so symmetrically, you do not want the paraglider to start rotating, this could
cause the paraglider to fly into and effectively disable the parachute.
• Due to the position of the reserve bridle hang points on most harness, deploying the reserve parachute tends to automatically put you in to the PLF
position (legs down), if you are not, do everything you can to get yourself into this position so you can absorb the landing impact with your legs.
• Always use a PLF when landing under emergency situations or under a rescue parachute.
TOWING
The Solos is suitable for towing. The tow bridles should be attached to the main carabiners, if you have any doubts ask a qualified towing instructor
or see the operating instructions supplied with your tow release system.
EXTERNAL PARACHUTE CONTAINER
An additional parachute container (not included) may be added to the Solos. Use the main carabiners to secure the container and parachute bridles.
