Pre-flight checks
For maximum safety, use a complete and consistent system of pre-flight checks and
repeat the same mental sequence before every flight.
check that:
> There is no visible damage to the harness or carabiners that could affect its airwor-
thiness.
> The rescue parachute container is closed correctly and the pins are in the right po-
sition.
>The deployment handle and the pin are correctly inserted or attached.
> All buckles, belts, zips are securely fastened. Buckles should click into place as you
close them: a gentle pull on the fastened buckle verifies will verify this.
> Secure any zips after fastening the buckles.
>Take extra care in snowy or sandy environments.
> The paraglider is connected correctly to the harness and both carabiners are se-
cured by their locking mechanisms.
>The speed bar is attached correctly to the glider.
>All pockets are closed properly and any loose items are secured.
> It is important to check that air chamber intake made of mesh is open before each
use; otherwise it could lead to malfunction of the airbag.
>Check again that you have closed your leg and chest straps before launch!
rescue Deployment
If the rescue is to be deployed, the procedure is as follows:
>Look for the rescue handle and grasp it firmly with one hand
> Pull sideward and upwards on the handle to release the deployment bag from the
harness container
> Look for a clear area, and in a continuous motion, throw (and RELEASE!) the rescue
away from yourself and the glider, preferably into the air stream and against the di-
rection of spin
> After deployment, avoid entanglement and pendulum motions by pulling in the glider
as symmetrically as possible with the B, C, D or brake lines
>On landing, assume an upright body position and be sure to do a PLF (Parachute
Landing Fall) to minimize the risk of injury
