3.4- Aero-towing hook
The X-ALPS harness can be used for towed launches. The tow bridle release should be hooked directly to the main karabiners, ensuring that
the karabiners are positioned with the opening bar facing the rear. For further details, refer to the documentation provided with your tow
release, or ask a qualified towing instructor at your flying site.
3.5- Landing with the X-ALPS harness
During landing, remember to bring your legs out of the front cover and to adopt a standing position. Never land in a seated position, because
this is very dangerous for your back.
4- PACKING THE HARNESS
To pack the harness correctly and ensure that it takes up as least space as possible, we recommend following the steps shown in the photos
below. Lay the harness on the ground, with the emergency parachute container facing out. Fold in the two upper sides of the harness, and
then fold the leg cover upwards and onto the upper sides. Then fold the harness tail in half, so that it lies on the full height of the back. Lastly,
fold the back against the seat, keeping the emergency parachute container facing outwards. After having folded the paraglider carefully,
place it into the rucsac, and then put in the harness. Above this, place the emergency parachute container. Close the rucsac almost
completely, leaving just the top open in order to put in your helmet and other garments if required. On the left side of the harness there is
another pocket for telescopic walking poles.
