2. Introduction
Safety Instruction
The cross canopy X-ONE is a parachute to be release by hand for paraglider pilots who are in an emergency
sit-uation. Due to their design characteristics it is not suitable for the free-fall! The parachute, the suspension
lines and their connection are not designed for an abrupt opening, because the necessary shock absorbers are
missing. An unauthorized use is prohibited. It is essential to ensure the proper installation of the X-ONE in the
harness. In the direct connection, a compatibility test must be carried out by an entitled person, to exclude pos-
sible non-compatibility between the harness and rescue device. Only a correctly mounted rescue equipment can
function properly in case of an emergency and thus contribute to safety. In case of a release of the rescue device
above water, for example, as part of safety training, should pay attention to the fact that a harness foam protector
generates positive bouncy and can bring the pilots in the „head-down“ position in water. There is also the risk
that the foam protection soak water during a longer stay in the water and then pulls the pilot down.
Intended Use
This rescue device has been developed and constructed exclusively for the paragliding sport. The deployment
of the rescue device is carried out manually and is used for the paraglider pilot and provide if need it an
emergency descent.
3. Rescue Canopy X-ONE
Through to intensive development work, we have succeeded to develop a cross canopy for the sport of
paragliding.
The X-ONE is easy to pack, with a small size and weight and has very high pendulum stability. Despite a high
maximum towing capacity, we were able to achieve very good sink rate.
