WARNING
Paragliding is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause serious
injury including bodily harm, paralysis and death. Flying an Ozone pa-
raglider is undertaken with the full knowledge that paragliding involves
such risks.
As the owner of an Ozone paraglider you take exclusive responsibility
for all risks associated with its use. Inappropriate use and or abuse
of your equipment will increase these risks.
Any liability claims resulting from use of this product towards the
manufacturer, distributor or dealers are excluded.
Be prepared to practice as much as you can - especially ground han-
dling, as this is a critical aspect of paragliding. Poor control while on
the ground is one of the most common causes of accidents.
Be ready to continue your learning by attending advanced courses to
follow the evolution of our sport, as techniques and materials keep
improving.
Use only certified paragliders, harnesses with protector and reserve
parachutes that are free from modification, and use them only within
their certified weight ranges. Please remember that flying a glider
outside its certified configuration may jeopardise any insurance (e.g.
liability, life etc) you have. It is your responsibility as the pilot to verify
your insurance cover.
Make sure you complete a thorough daily and pre-flight inspection of
all of your equipment. Never attempt flying with unsuitable or dam-
aged equipment.
Always wear a helmet, gloves and boots.
All pilots should have the appropriate level of license for their respec-
tive country and third party insurance.
Make sure that you are physically and mentally healthy before flying.
Choose the correct wing, harness and conditions for your level of
experience.
Pay special attention to the terrain you will be flying and the weather
conditions before you launch. If you are unsure do not fly, and always
add a large safety margin to all your decisions.
Avoid flying your glider in rain, snow, strong wind, and turbulent
weather conditions or clouds.
If you use good, safe judgment you will enjoy many years of paraglid-
ing.
Remember, PLEASURE is the reason for our sport

TEAM OZONE

Everyone at Ozone continues to be driven by our
passion for flying, our love of adventure and our
quest to see Ozone's paraglider development create
better, safer and more versatile paragliders.
Paragliding design is led by the ever thoughtful David Dagault; Dav
has a wealth of experience both in competition, adventure flying and
paraglider design. Also on the design team are Russell Ogden, Luc
Armant and Fred Pieri.
Russ is a top competition pilot and ex paragliding instructor, he can
usually be found putting Dav's latest creation through a series of
test manoeuvres.
Luc, a dedicated XC addict has a background in naval architecture.
He brings a wealth of knowledge and ideas to the design team and
works closely with Dav in the design process.
Fred is the latest addition to the team. He is a mathematian,
mechanical engineer and vol Biv specialist. Fred designed the Anti-G
and was the brainchild of the shark nose.
Back in the office Mike Cavanagh keeps control of the mayhem. Pro-
motion and Team pilots are organised by Matt Gerdes. Karine Mar-
coni, Jill Devine and Chloe Vila make sure we don't spend too much
money and look after the ordering system.
Our manufacturing facility in Vietnam is headed up by Dr Dave Pilk-
ington, who works relentlessly manufacturing gliders and producing
prototypes as well as researching materials and manufacturing proc-
esses for our future products. He is backed up by Khanh and 700
production staff.
