Activate the reserve parachute
It is a good idea to check the position of the reserve parachute handle frequently during flight whenever
you can afford it.
By doing so, you will be able to maximize the time given the paraglider throws a reserve parachute out of
control.
It is necessary to first estimate the altitude above ground level (AGL) and, if high enough, try to return the
wing to normal flight. But if you're unsure at all times, deploy your emergency parachute quickly.
Rescue parachute deployment should only be done in an emergency situation only
With a strong lateral and vertical pull, pull the handle toward you and then throw the parachute (including
container and handle) away into a clear, unobstructed area in the sky.
Gather as many gliders as possible while the parachute opens and falls. At this point, pull the "C" or "D"
riser or toggle/brake toward you as symmetrically as possible.
Prepare to land by standing in an upright position with your knees together and your legs slightly bent.
