Page 3: Forword
For this reason, we recommend intense workout for the use of the Aegis SQ. A perfect way for those who can learn only by themselves by repeating the exercises in the event of an emergency in the prevailing difficult condition and react correctly. -
Page 4: Introduction
The Aegis SQ is not suitable for speeds in excess of 32 m/s or 115 km/h. The parachute, the suspension lines and their connection are not designed for an abrupt opening, because the necessary shock absorbers are missing. -
Page 5: Rescue Canopy Aegis Sq
Through to intensive development work, we have succeeded to develop a square canopy for the paragliding sport. The Aegis SQ is easy to pack, with a small size and weight and has very high pendulum stability. Despite a high maximum towing capacity, we were able to achieve very good sink rate. - Page 6 The operation manual is available for download at www.MAC PARA.com 3.4 Quality assurance The MAC PARA rescue devices go through a step by step control during the whole production. After every step, the product is accurately checked and only after a successful pass of the test the following step will be started.
