3.5 - Tandem flying
WANÌ 3 can be used for a tandem passenger.
3.6 - Flying over water
Using WANÌ 3 on flights over water is not recommended. In the event of for
-
ced landing in water, there is the possibility that the protection, still full of
air, will hold the pilot under water.
Woody Valley recommends using a suitable life jacket when flying above
water.
3.7 - Assisted take-off hook
WANì 3 harness can be used for towed launches. The tow bridle release
should be hooked directly to the main karabiners, ensuring that the kara-
biners are positioned with the opening bar facing the rear. For further de-
tails, refer to the documentation provided with your tow release, or ask a
qualified towing instructor at your flying site.
3.8 - Landing with WANì 3
Before landing, slide your legs out and off the seat surface, so that you take
up a standing position. Never land in the seated position; it is very dange
-
rous for your back even if you have foam dorsal protection, which provides
exclusively passive protection.
Standing up before landing is an active safety precaution, and it is much
more effective than passive forms of protection.
3.9 - Disposing of the harness
The materials used in a paragliding harness require a correct disposal.
Please give your harness back to us instead of throwing it away, we’ll take
care of its correct disposal.
3.10 - Regulations for behaviour in natural environments
Please respect the environment when you practise our sport: do not leave
the beaten tracks, do not pollute with garbage, do not disturb the peace
with loud noises.
