In case of the paraglider jettisoning followed by the BASE canopy deployment, here are a few pieces
of information to know to guaranty your safety :
• The BASE System requires a 100 m minimum height over any obstacle to be considered safe. The
certification tests demonstrated that a 2 second minimal fall before deployment takes place. Below
this minimum height to activate the BASE System, it is vital to use the second rescue parachute located
beneath the seat.
• Do not leave your hand(s) in the risers or in the toggles during the paragliding wing jettisoning. The
base WING opening sequence could be slowed down or stopped altogether. A riser twist during ope-
ning could take place but is unlikely. Be ready to untwist yourself immediately with precis and strong
arm and or body gestures.
• A riser twist during opening could take place but is unlikely. Be ready to untwist yourself immediately
with precis and strong arm and/or body gestures. Once the BASE wing is opened, if you wish to control
your trajectory, it will be imperative to free both the BASE wing’s toggles. Unfastening one toggle only
will send the wing in a counter rotation opposed to the released brake toggle. The BASE wing is
pre-set to a slow flying position upon opening, and will fly a 1 glide in a high horizontal component.
However, we will recommend you taking control of your trajectory whilst flying under the ABSE wing.
• Wing behavior in flight : the glider is easily guided but with a 2.5 glide, correctly evaluate the dis-
tance to cover to reach the targeted landing area. A sustained ample braking impute 4-5 m over
the ground must be implemented.
