obstacles consider this alternative approach.

THINGS YOU CAN DO IF YOU ARE COMING DOWN UNDER PARACHUTE WITH TIME TO

SPARE

If your paraglider and parachute are in a state of equilibrium...do nothing. If it ain't

broke don't fix it

If you find yourself coming down at an acceptable rate of descent under both your

paraglider and your reserve parachute don't do anything. Your paraglider and parachute are

in a state of equilibrium. Ride it down with the understanding that conditions can change at

any moment. Even slight pilot control movements, body movements or turbulence can disrupt

that equilibrium. Watch the action of your paraglider and parachute. Look at your probable

impact area and be prepared to deal with those elements.

If your paraglider is totally or partially functional, come down under both your

paraglider and your parachute

If you are able to fly your paraglider using normal or "creative" control input, do so. Do not

relinquish control if you can fly the paraglider.

If your paraglider is not functional, behaving erratically and threatening tangling with

your parachute you may have to consider disabling your paraglider.

WORD OF CAUTION:...When ever you pull in the paraglider be careful not to wrap lines around

your hand or fingers. If the paraglider reinflates while you are bringing it in it can tie you up. Just

because you think your paraglider is disabled doesn't mean it will stay disabled.

The following approaches have been suggested to disable your paraglider:

Perform a B-line stall and maintain the stall

characteristics and allow the paraglider to act like a giant air brake.

not executed perfectly you risk yawing pitch oscillations which may bump the paraglider

into the parachute or lines (depending on where your paraglider is relative to your

parachute). This maneuver requires the pilots total attention.

Pull in the paraglider from one brake line and pull in one end only of the

paraglider.

causing damage to the pilot or parachute, it could disable the paraglider fast.

violently while wrapping up. After several twists the pilot can lose all control or even

become tied up in the paraglider lines or sail. As the pilot had no input the paraglider

can start to unwrap itself. It could fly erratically around the parachute or pilot and cause

severe damage.

Pull in the paraglider by pulling in one rear riser until fabric is in hand and

continue pulling in the entire paraglider.

Pros: Properly performed a B-line stall will disrupt the flight

Cons: Since a paraglider is very sensitive to symmetry, if a B-line stall is

Pro: If the uncontrollable spinning wraps up the paraglider without

Con: It could aggravate the situation and cause the paraglider to spin
