Warning: PARACHUTING IS A HAZARDOUS ACTIVITY THAT CAN RESULT IN INJURY
OR DEATH.
An altimeter is a device subject to malfunction, even when properly designed, built,
assembled, maintained, and used. Do not rely upon an altimeter for your safety.
Your altimeter must only be considered as an aid when checking your altitude. A
visual cross reference with the ground should be used in combination with any
altimeter.
