:
the safety advice and instructions contained in this manual must be followed in
all circumstances. Failure to do so may invalidate the certication and/or result in loss of
insurance cover, and could lead to serious injuries or even death.
Safety advice
Paragliding demand a high level of individual responsibility. Prudence and risk-awareness are
basic requirements for the safe practice of the sport, for the very reason that it is so easy to
learn and practically anyone can do so. Carelessness and overestimating one’s own abilities
can quickly lead to critical situations. A reliable assessment of conditions for �ying is
particularly important. Paragliders are not designed to be �own in turbulent weather. Most
serious accidents with paragliders are caused by pilots misjudging the weather for �ying.
In Germany, paragliders are subject to the guidelines for air sports equipment and must not
under any circumstances be �own without a valid certi�cation. Independent experimentation
is strictly prohibited. This Manual does not replace the need to attend training at a paragliding
school.
The manual must be passed on to any new owner if the paraglider is sold. It is part of the
certi�cation and belongs with the paraglider.
Observe the other speci�c safety advice in the various sections of this manual.
Safety notices
Safety notices are issued when defects arise during use of a paraglider which could possibly
also aퟍ�ect other gliders of the same model. The notices contain instructions on how the
aퟍ�ected gliders can be inspected for possible faults and the steps required to rectify them.
Gin Gliders publishes on its website any technical safety notices and airworthiness
instructions which are issued in respect of GIN products. The paraglider owner is responsible
for carrying out the action required by the safety notice.
Safety notices are issued by the certi�cation agencies and also published on the relevant
websites. You should therefore visit on a regular basis the safety pages of the certi�cation
agencies and keep up-to-date with new safety notices which cover any products relating to
paragliding.
