Rescue Deployment - Gin Gliders Switch2 Bedienungsanleitung

Rescue Deployment

In the event of an emergency, you must quickly evaluate your height and the seriousness of the incident. A
seconds hesitation in deploying the reserve could prove fatal if there is insu cient height. On the other hand,
deploying the rescue when the glider is recoverable may result in needless injury.
If you decide to deploy the rescue:
1) Look for the rescue handle and grasp it firmly with one hand
2) Pull forwards and upwards on the handle to release the deployment bag from the rescue container.
3) Look for a clear area, and in a continuous motion, throw (and RELEASE!) The rescue away from yourself
and the glider, preferably into the air stream or against the direction of spin. After deployment, avoid
entanglement and pendulum motions by promptly pulling in the glider as symmetrically as possible with the
B, C, D or brake lines.
4) On landing take an upright body position and be prepared to do a PLF (Parachute Landing Fall) to
minimize the risk of injury.
Landing with the Switch 2
Before landing, slide your legs forward in the harness so that you adopt the standing position. NEVER land in
the seated position—it is very dangerous even if you have back protection. Standing up before landing is an
active safety precaution.
IMPORTANT:
In normal flight, periodically feel the
position of the rescue handle so that the action of reaching
for the rescue handle is instinctive in an emergency.
WARNING:
During any incident in flight, always
monitor your altitude. If you have any doubt that you have
su cient height for recovery, deploy your reserve without
.
hesitation. "If in doubt, get it out!"
NOTE:
After any rescue deployment, it is essential to
have your harness thoroughly inspected by a qualified
professional to be sure there is no damage to the rescue
connection points, rescue bridle or any other parts.
