Route the risers from your harness shoulder connectors to the parachute container. 6. Stow any excessive riser into the parachute container. 7. Make sure the riser is routed in such a way that that it will not tangle with you paraglider in the event you drop it during deployment.
- Page 4 High Energy Sports Inc 714-632-3323 DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE: Memorize these steps! If you need to deploy your parachute do not waste time...deploy fast. DEPLOYING YOUR PARACHUTE 1. Look for the deployment bag handle. Paraglider harnesses have a number of adjustment straps that can easily be confused with the parachute deployment handle in an emergency situation.

You need lots time and altitude to pull in the entire paraglider. You need the strength to pull in the entire paraglider and maintain it. It is easy to lose ground awareness.
- Page 7 High Energy Sports Inc 714-632-3323 WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU ARE DRIFTING TOWARDS POWER LINES, WATER OR OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATIONS? Your reserve parachute has a double riser configuration at the shoulders of your harness that goes directly to the reserve parachute. You may be able to pull down on one riser and redirect your parachute that direction.

High Energy Sports Inc 714-632-3323 PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT In a Simulator The best way to practice is in a simulator hanging from the ceiling. If possible have your dealer or a friend swing and twist you around violently while you try to deploy. Practice with each hand. - Page 9 High Energy Sports Inc 714-632-3323 3.
