PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
In a Simulator
The best way to practice is in a simulator hanging from the ceiling. If possible have your
dealer or a friend swing and twist you around violently while you try to deploy. Practice with
each hand. If you wear gloves, practice with gloves. (Note how easy it could be for lines to
get wrapped around your neck.)
In the Air
At least once every flight practice looking and reaching for your
handle. Imagine yourself reaching for the handle with your right
hand and with your left hand.
At Home and any time
Visualize yourself in your mind's eye performing a successful
emergency parachute deployment. Choose various scenario's
depicting yourself in a full frontal collapse, a violent spin, a partial
collapse close to the ground, a mid air and any other emergency
situations you can imagine. In each case consider your options,
choose a plan of action, and take yourself step by step through the
deployment process. Imagine problems with your first plan and
implement plan "B". Be sure to continue guiding yourself through
your decision making processes until you are safely on the ground unhooked from your
paraglider and reserve. Practicing a successful deployment in your mind's eye increases your
chances of responding precisely and accurately to any emergency situation.
Repack at least once a year and practice parachute extraction before each repack!
If there is any question about whether your parachute is properly placed in the deployment
bag, hook the handle on a solid object and pull on the bridle. The bridle, lines then canopy
should snake out of the deployment bag in a smooth orderly sequence.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPACK YOUR OWN PARACHUTE WITHOUT APPROPRIATE
GUIDANCE OR TRAINING.
