G-chute manual: 15 

 

Be aware 

Never deploy the G-chute if your glider is wet or if there is another risk that your 
glider might go into deep stall. 

Never make the spiral dive to the opposite side of the G-chute riser attachment. 

Don’t deploy your G-chute in any other flight state other than trim speed in straight 
and level flight. 

Don’t use the G-chute on the final approach or landing. 

 
 

Material stress 

Even if the  G-chute is designed to reduce the G-force, strong spiral dives can cause a lot 
of stress to your gear.

Final words… 

Most of us today live in a dependent society where we are regulated and protected. 
Individuals rarely are afforded opportunities to develop the self-responsibility that is the 
foundation of safety in extreme sports such as paragliding. 
    Most accidents are caused by getting into situations that are too demanding for your 
level of experience. This happens if you lack fundamental understanding, are incapable of 
assessing the risk or simply do not pay sufficient attention to your surroundings or your 
own state of mind. 
    To stay safe, the best you can do is to increase your understanding, skill and experience 
at a rate you can manage safely. There is no substitute for self-responsibility and good 
judgement. 
    In the end, paragliding offers a unique opportunity to learn to take control of your own 
destiny. Memento mori, carpe diem! 
 
Fly safely, and...E N J O Y!
