In order to avoid falling out of the harness it is imperative to check before each launch if the chest and

legs straps are closed.

Not closing the straps is extremely dangerous and is a known reason of fatal

accidents !

8.4 Chest strap

Chest strap controls the distance between carabiners. Increasing that distance makes the harness less stable,

improving effectiveness of the weightshifting and relaying more information from the canopy. Reducing it will stabilize

everything and make the paraglider less receptive to weight steering. Too narrow carabiner base can make recovery

from extreme situations very hard or even impossible (in case of a spiral). If the manufacturer of the paraglider does

not give any special instructions, the recommended width is 42-48 cm. In turbulent air you can pull in the strap to feel

more comfortable, but always remember that it is more probable to get a twist in emergency then.

9. Pockets

The Disco has a spacious back pocket and two little side pockets. The back pocket can easily hold the paraglider's

backpack, camelback and much more. There are openings in the upper part of the pocket (on both sides) to lead the

drink pipe, antennas etc. Side pockets can be easily reached in flight. There is an additional pocket under the seat

plate.
