PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING WITH YOUR NEW WINGSUIT

BEFORE YOU GET TOO CRAZY WITH YOUR SWIFT 5, TRAIN!

Please take your responsible progression seriously: skydive your wingsuit extensively before you

BASE jump it, and train in your wingsuit extensively before you attempt any advanced maneuvers.

Enjoy your progression in your SWIFT, and respect the learning curve. Coaching and qualified

instruction are essential.

Always maintain awareness of your surroundings. It is your responsibility to avoid collisions with

other wingsuit pilots, parachutes, all air-traffic, and planet Earth. Skydiving and BASE jumping are

extremely dangerous, and complacency kills.

Page 3 LEG WING INTERNAL ZIPPER We recommend flying with the leg wing zip closed. You may experiment with opening it to reduce internal pressure, but the leg wing zip is primarily designed for access, not pressure adjustment. Again, make zipper-checks a part of your pre-flight checklist. HOLDING YOUR GRIPPER, AND POSITIONING THE LEADING EDGE OF YOUR SUIT It isn’t necessary to grip your wingtips tightly or to fly with the grippers in your hands.
Page 4 SLEEPING AND BATHING YOUR SQUIRREL Don’t smother your Squirrel! When it’s hibernating, it likes to breathe and relax in a cool, dry, comfortable nest. Do not store your suit for long periods of time in a tightly folded or compressed manner.
