DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE: Memorize these steps!

If you need to deploy your parachute do not waste time...deploy fast.

DEPLOYING YOUR PARACHUTE

1. Look for the deployment bag handle. Paraglider harnesses have a number of adjustment

straps that can easily be confused with the parachute deployment handle in an emergency

situation. Be sure to look for the correct handle so you do not waste precious time tugging

on the wrong strap.

2. Reach and grab the handle securely.

3. Pull the handle. Your deployment system may require a downward yank or, if it is a Velcro

closure, a peeling action, to dislodge the curved pin(s) and Velcro. Be sure to practice this

step in a simulator each time you repack, switch harnesses or change parachute

containers. Be familiar with your equipment.

4. Look for clear air. Avoid any lines or paraglider sail that might tangle with your reserve

parachute.

5. Throw the deployment bag towards the clear air. Throw the bag hard, as if your life

depended on it, because it very well could. Your riser should come to full extension

followed by your lines and canopy. If you get a good throw away from you your system will

take less time and altitude to open. If you drop your reserve parachute below you, you risk

entanglement. You also will require to fall a greater distance before your body weight will

load your parachute so it can open.

6. Yank vigorously on the riser. This will help to spread the suspension lines and open the

air channel if your canopy has not yet inflated.

7. If necessary pull your parachute back in with yanking movements and repeat steps #5

& #6.

8. If at low altitude, immediately prepare for impact.

If you have time, evaluate your situation and decide the safest course of action before

WHAT TO DO AFTER YOUR RESERVE PARACHUTE OPENS

If you are close to the ground immediately prepare for impact. The most common impact

approach is to do a PLF . To do a PLF it takes proper training and practice. The military

spends about 2 weeks teaching the PLF techneque.

PLF

To do a PLF position your body feet down, legs together and knees slightly bent, toes slightly

pointed, arms in, elbows in and eyes on the horizon.. Allow your muscles enough tension to

protect your bones on impact. Basically you are preparing to use your legs and body as shock

absorbers on impact. As you reach the ground try to hit in a rolling motion with your feet-calf-

thigh-butt-side of torso-shoulder impacting in the direction you are drifting. Your arms and

elbows should be tucked in as not to impact the ground. Be careful to keep your head tucked in

order to avoid snapping your neck.

PLF Altenative

Try to stand on impact but know that you can't. Allow yourself to use your legs as shock

absorbers but be sure to allow yourself to roll. A PLF is not appropriate for certain landing

impact
