Additional pocket under the seat

10. impact pad

The Disco is equipped with a 15 cm thick airfoam impact pad. Fixing the impact pad is demonstrated 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 and locked, without any damage

- the speedbar is clipped to the paraglider.

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 or stop the spin 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.
