Disclaimer and exclusion of liability
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 SWING paragliders. The
certification and warranty shall be rendered
invalid if there are changes of any kind (incl.
paraglider design or changes to the brake lines
beyond the permissible tolerance levels) or
incorrect repairs to the glider, or if any
inspections are missed (annual and 2-yearly
check).
Pilots are responsible for their own safety and
must ensure that the airworthiness of the glider
is checked prior to every flight. The pilot should
launch only if the paraglider is airworthy. In
addition, when flying outside of Germany, pilots
must observe the relevant regulations in each
country.
The glider may only be used if the pilot has a
licence which is valid for the area or is flying
under the supervision of an approved flying
instructor. There is no liability on the part of
third parties, in particular the manufacturer and
the dealer.

permissible weight range
the glider is used by more than one person
the glider is flown in rain or drizzle, cloud,
fog and/or snow
the canopy is wet
there are turbulent weather conditions
and/or wind speeds on launch higher than
2/3 of the maximum flyable airspeed of the
glider (based on take-off weight)
the air temperature is below -30°C or above
50°C
the glider is used for aerobatics/extreme
flying or flight manoeuvres at an angle
greater than 90°
there have been modifications to the
