2. Introduction
Safety instruction
The X-TRIANGLE is a parachute to be release by hand for paraglider pilots who are in an emergency situation.
Due to their design characteristics it is not suitable for the free-fall! The parachute, the suspension lines and their
connection are not designed for an abrupt opening, because the necessary shock absorbers are missing. An un-
authorized use is prohibited. It is essential to ensure the proper installation of the X-TRIANGLE to the harness. In
the direct connection, a compatibility test must be carried out by an entitled person, to exclude possible non-com-
patibility between the harness and rescue device. Only a correct mounted rescue equipment can function properly
in case of an emergency and thus contribute to safety. In case of a release of the rescue device above water,
for example, as part of safety training, should pay attention to the fact that a harness foam protector generates
positive bouncy and can bring the pilots in the „head-down“ position in water. There is also the risk that the foam
protection soak water during a longer stay in the water and then pulls the pilot down.
Intended Use
This rescue device has been developed and constructed exclusively for the paragliding sport.
3. Rescue canopy X-TRIANGLE
Through intensive research work we managed to develop a rescue system with maximum reliability, strength
and fastest opening time at low sink rate. The X-TRIANGLE is easy to pack with a small packing size, low overall
weight and a very high pendulum stability. Despite a high maximum weight load we could achieve a very low sink
rate.
The X-TRIANGLE is suitable for any aspiring pilot and is for acro and XC-pilots the measure of things. The com-
pact size ensures the compatibility with most harnesses. The new idea behind the X-TRIANGLE was to develop
a steerable rescue with a vertical descent without any forward movement and no necessary pilot inputs on the
rescue straight after the deployment. If the pilot wants, or the situation requires a control of the direction we got
2 brake-steering handles just above the connection loop which makes it easy to generate and steer a forward
drive and stay so under control even in difficult conditions and wind. Especially in situations where pilots with a
normal not steerable rescue can not avoid obstacles, the X-TRIANGLE shows their strength.
