Never land in the seated position; it is very dangerous for your back even if you have

foam dorsal protection or an airbag, which provide exclusively passive protection.

Standing up before landing is an active safety precaution, and it is much more

effective than passive forms of protection.

The Maki is also suitable for use in tandem flights. It can be used by both the pilot

and the passenger. Its special design, intended to allow for good leg movement,

makes the launch run easier for both the pilot and the passenger.

Caution: Be careful that the passenger's harness does not have a reserve. This

would create a risk of accidental release by the pilot during launch or in flight (side

deployment handle).

The Maki harness can be used for towed launches. The tow bridle release should be

hooked directly to the main karabiners, ensuring that the karabiners are positioned

with the opening bar facing the rear. For further details, refer to the documentation

harness, follow the instructions provided in the Foot stirrup instruction manual.
