Manually deployable rescue system is suitable for hang gliding and paragliding pilots in an emergency situation. Rescue systems from ICARO are characterized by a high level of reliability and maximum material strength. Fastest inflation while maintaining moderate sink rates are features of these systems.

Page 6 After having the rescue system packed, please ensure that rescue system and harness fit to each other. The force measured in the deployment handle should be between 50 and 80 N. Pulling the packing line trough the fixing loops To help you pack the rescue system, use a short piece of old paraglider line and thread it through all the apex fixing loops.

Most harnesses have a handle for the harness containers. This handle must be connected to the inner container. The inner container of ICARO rescue systems has two loops, in which the handle of the harness can be attached (center, side).

In order to avoid unwanted release of the rescue system, the closing splint must be held with a special thread (50 N) which is made with certified material. This special thread can be purchased from ICARO. A higher breaking force could otherwise endanger the release of the rescue system!
