  Each alteration of the glider (lines, canopy, and risers) is dangerous reactions 

of the glider are not predictable. Your glider will lose its pattern test result and 
guarantee. 

  You can only fly your glider with a valid flying license and in accordance with 

local rules and regulations. 

  The manufacturer or distributor assumes no responsibility for accidents 

occurring while using it. 

  Every pilot must ensure that the glider is properly checked at regular intervals. 

  Many countries have specific regulations or laws regarding paragliding activity. 

It’s your responsibility to know and observe the regulations of the region where 
you fly. 

  Paragliding especially Acro is an extremely demanding sport requiring the 

highest levels of attention, judgment, maturity, and self-discipline. Due to the 
inherent risks in flying this or any paraglider. 

  No guarantee of any kind can be made against accidents, injury, equipment 

failure, and/or death. It is assumed that the pilot is in possession of the 
necessary qualifications and provisions of any relevant laws are observed. 

  The use of this paraglider is entirely at your own risk. Every pilot bears the 

responsibility of his/her own safety. The  manufacturer or distributor assumes 
no responsibility for accidents occurring while using it. 

  Do not fly unless you are personally willing to assume all risks inherent in the 

sport of paragliding and all responsibility  for any property damage, injury, or 
death, which may result from use of this paraglider. 

  Gliders and Harnesses those are used for training purposes, aerobatic or other 

official competitions, are excluded from a guarantee. 

 

Environmental aspects: 

 

The materials of which a paraglider is made require a special waste disposal. So 
please send disused gliders back to us. We will care about a professional waste 
disposal without costing for you. 

Please do our nature-near sport in a way which does not stress nature and 
environment! 

Please do not walk beside the marked ways, do not leave your litter, do not make 
unnecessary loud noises and respect the sensitive balance in the mountains. 

 
 
 

Especially at the launch site consideration is needed!
