Safety advice

Paraglider harnesses, like all commercially available reserve para-
chutes, are not at all suitable for free fall because of their construc-
tion. The reserve parachute and its connection to the harness are not
designed to withstand an abrupt opening.
All adjustments of the harness should definitely be made before flight.
The correct adjustment of a harness contributes significantly to its
correct functioning, safety, and comfort in flight.
The impact protector in the pelvis/back area of the harness, in this
manual referred to as the Airbag, does not provide complete and
comprehensive protection from injury. It merely serves to attenuate
the energy of impacts, and thus minimise injury which may result
from a fall to the ground from a minimal height during imperfect take-
offs and landings.
When carrying out safety training over water you should be aware
that the Airbag floats in the water and can put the pilot in a head
down attitude. There's also a risk that the foam parts of the Airbag
will eventually fill with water and sink – with the pilot.

General advice about paragliding

Flying a paraglider calls for appropriate training and a sound knowl-
edge of the subject, as well as, of course, the necessary insurance
cover and licence. A pilot must be able to correctly assess the weath-
er conditions before taking off. His or her capabilities must be ade-
quate for the actual paraglider.
Wearing an adequate helmet, suitable boots and clothing, and car-
rying an emergency parachute are essential. Before every flight all
items of equipment should be checked for damage and airworthi-
ness. A proper pre-takeoff check must also be carried out.
Every pilot bears sole responsibility for his or her participation in the
sport of paragliding. Neither the manufacturer nor the seller of a pa-
raglider can guarantee or be held responsible for the pilot's safety.
