a gym (such arrangements are offered by
most schools and clubs around the world)
and that you have your harness/parachute
configuration tested by qualified
professionals before flying. It is also a
good idea to go through the entire
deployment procedure before each flight
to ensure that you are mentally prepared
in the event that you suddenly need to use
your UP Profile 2 reserve parachute.
Checking the parachute
system
Before packing the UP Profile 2 it must be
checked by a certified parachute rigger. In
case the parachute has been deployed in
earnest it must be sent to the
manufacturer or to a manufacturer-
approved checking facility for a complete
check-up. Whenever re-packing an
already packed parachute make sure that
it remains deployable after installing it in
the paragliding harness. This procedure is
called the Compatibility Test and must be
performed each time the parachute is
installed in a harness. One of the things
that must be verified is that the necessary
deployment force should be between 5
and 12 kN – if lower a piece of thread in
the form of a rupture joint solves the
problem (see the “Rupture point” chapter).
