The UP Profile light series are manually
deployed reserve parachutes for
paraglider pilots to use in emergencies.
The UP Profile light has been specially
developed and tested as a second rescue
for test-, acro-, cross country and
competition pilots. Beside this the UP
Profile light is an alternative for
mountaineering paragliding pilots who
have previously, in order to save weight,
been flying without a reserve.
UP International does not recommend
using the UP Profile light as main reserve
for normal flying. In this case we
recommend our professional UP Profile
series that have bigger surface areas
and better sink rates.
The UP Profile light was not designed or
tested for use in skydiving or base
jumping, and must be used with [certified]
paragliding harnesses only.

Any other usage is

warranty claims. These free-
flight emergency parachutes
are NOT designed for jumping
out of airplanes!

It’s recommended to try a practice
deployment before your first flight, so
you can familiarise yourself with the
proper function of the outer container
and the UP Profile light in general.
If you find yourself in an uncontrollable
situation in the air pull hard on the
deployment handle. This will open the
outer reserve container and release
the reserve parachute. If the UP
Profile light is in its original front mount
container it is possible to throw it to
either side with either hand

For a fast opening it’s
important to throw the reserve
package forcefully away
from you into free open
space. It is necessary to
throw away the container with
as much force as possible to
shorten the opening time. If your glider
is spiraling / rotating it pays to throw
the reserve against the rotation as this
will speed up the inflating process. If
you have had a collision and find
yourself entangled with someone
else’s glider try to make sure you don’t
throw the canopy into the
entanglement, as this will delay the
opening.
The air current stretches the lines and
peels away the inner container. This
releases the actual canopy and lets it
