Right from the start the EPSILON 8 gives the beginner or leisure pilot
the safety they need when they lift off into the third dimension. A sense
of achievement is guaranteed from the beginner’s first flights, en-
couraged by the knowledge that you can always trust the EPSILON 8
completely. The EPSILON 8 is perfect for schools, but it also provides
improving pilots with continued flying enjoyment, with maximum pas-
sive safety, long after they have finished their training.
General advice about paragliding
Flying a paraglider calls for appropriate training and a sound knowl-
edge of the subject, as well as, of course, the necessary insurance
cover and licence. A pilot must be able to correctly assess the weather
conditions before taking off. His or her capabilities must be adequate
for the actual paraglider.
Wearing an adequate helmet, suitable boots and clothing, and carrying
an emergency parachute ( a ‘reserve’ ) are essential. Before every flight
all items of equipment should be checked for damage and airworthi-
ness. A proper pre-takeoff check must also be carried out.
Every pilot bears sole responsibility for all risks, including injury or
death, when participating in the sport of paragliding. Neither the manu-
facturer nor the seller of a paraglider can guarantee or be held respon-
sible for the pilot’s safety.
