 Safety 

 Safety advice 

 Paragliding demands 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 

fl

ying is particularly important. Paragliders 

 are not designed to be 

fl

own in turbulent weather. Most serious accidents with paragliders are caused 

 by pilots misjudging the weather for 

fl

ying. 

 Paragliders are subject to speci

fi

c guidelines for air sports equipment in each country. They must 

 not under any circumstances be 

fl

own without a valid certi

fi

cation. It’s your responsibility to know and 

 observe the regulations of the region where you 

fl

y. 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

fi

cation and belongs with the paraglider. 

 Observe the other speci

fi

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 
 affect other gliders of the same model. The notices contain instructions on how the affected gliders 
 can be inspected for possible faults and the steps required to rectify them. 

 Gin Gliders publishes on its website any technical safety notices which are issued in respect of GIN 

 products. The paraglider owner is responsible for carrying out the action required by the safety notice. 

 Liability, warranty exclusion and operating limitations 

 Use of the paraglider is at the pilot’s own risk! 

 The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any personal injury or material damage which arises in 

 connection with Gin Gliders paragliders. 

 Pilots are responsible for their own safety and must ensure that the airworthiness of the glider is 

 checked prior to every 

fl

ight. The pilot should launch only if the paraglider is airworthy and must 

 observe the relevant regulations in each country. 

 In terms of the warranty and guarantee conditions, the paraglider may not be 

fl

own if any of the 

 following situations exists: 

●

 changes of any kind (incl. paraglider design or changes to the brake lines beyond the 
 permissible tolerance levels) 

●

 incorrect repairs to the glider 

●

 the inspection period has expired, or the inspection has been carried out by the pilot 
 him/herself or by an unauthorised inspector 

●

ffi

cient experience or training
