2.1.5- Extracting the reserve parachute
It is important to periodically check the position of the reserve parachute
handle during normal flight so that the reaction movement to grab it is
instinctive in the event of an emergency.
In the event of an emergency situation, the launch procedure is as follows:
•Look for the reserve parachute handle and grasp it firmly with one
hand.
• Pull the handle outwards in order to extract the reserve parachute
from the harness container.
•Look for a clear area and, in a continuous motion, throw the reserve
parachute away from yourself and the glider.
•After opening, keep the paraglider from interfering with the re-
serve parachute as follows:
- If the leading edge is facing upward, pull the “D” risers
or the brakes and deflate your paraglider.
-If instead the leading edge of the glider is facing down-
ward, pull one of the “D” risers or one brake to make the glider rotate with
the leading edge upward and then pull both brakes or both “D” risers to
help deflate your paraglider.
•On landing,assume an upright position and be prepared to perform
a “parachute landing fall” to minimise the risk of injury.
