// X-ALPS5

12 CLOSING WORDS 

The skywalk X-ALPS 5 is at the pinnacle of paraglider development in the market for
ultralight high performance gliders and shows what is possible regarding performance, 
safety and innovation. It cost us a lot of time to develop this glider, but it was also a lot of 
fun. In this development we recognize the challenge of making the right product for every 
area and individual taste. We are pleased if you notice this during your first flight and 
if you feel a certain unity with your glider from the very beginning.
The X-ALPS5 will provide you with plenty of joy over many years if you treat it and care
for it properly. Respect for the demands and dangers of our sport are essential for 
successful and beautiful flights.

Even the safest paraglider can be dangerous due to misjudgments of meteorological
conditions or pilot error. Always remember that flying sports are potentially risky and that 
you are responsible for your own safety. We advise you to fly carefully and to respect 
laws in the interest of our sport, because every pilot always flies at his or her own risk!

WE WISH YOU A LOT OF FUN WITH YOUR NEW GLIDER
AND HAPPY LANDINGS!!

Your skywalk Team
