11. Impact pad

The Techno is equipped with a certified, 15 cm thjck airfoam impact pad. Fixing the impact pad in place is shown

below.

Before each flight a thorough check of the harness is required. For your own safety make sure that:

- - the harness is not damaged in any way

- rescue chute container is correctly closed and locked with pins

- rescue chute release handle is correctly set up and has the right shape (quite often it happens to be malformed in

transport, so it's important to check if it's not flattened and easy to grab)

- all leg and chest straps are closed

- shoulder and side straps remain correctly adjusted

- all pockets are closed with their zips covered

- main carabiners are closed, locked and without any damage

- the speedbar is clipped to the paraglide.

13. Using the rescue chute

The rescue chute should be used in case of emergency, when you can't recover the paraglider from dangerous flight

state in any other way. Throwing the chute while in a fast spin is risky. If there is still some altitude to spare, first you

should try to slow down the spin or stop it altogether.

To use the chute grab the release handle, with fast and resolute move rip it from its velcro and throw it together with

the canopy bag as far as possible, to the outside of the spiral (if present). After opening deflate your paraglider with

its rear risers. Prepare for landing in a parachute style, keeping your legs together with slightly bent knees.

While on the final approach, assume upright position and get your legs ready for landing. Touchdown when still sitting

is unacceptable and very dangerous, as even despite the impact pad there is high risk of spine injury. Land always on

your feet, with a few steps to bleed off the speed if necessary. impact pad is NOT a landing aid and was not designed

as such.

Water landing is potentially very dangerous, with imminent risk of drowning. If you can't avoid the waterlanding,

when ca. 10m over the release both the legs and chest straps. In the last moment get out of the harness to avoid

getting tangled in suspension lines or other gear. The harness does not sink, so you can later grab it and use as a

lifebuoy.

Water landing while still seated in the harness is extremely dangerous. The impact pad does not sink and

will always float, forcing your head under water and rendering breathing very hard or impossible.

There

is very high risk of getting tangled in lines and drowning.
