GIN rescue parachutes are inspected and packed at the factory. It is recommended that the reserve is repacked by a suitably qualified and experienced paragliding professional or parachute rigger prior to installation into your harness. The efficacy of the rescue, and your life, depend on the correct packing procedure. If in any doubt whatsoever, please seek professional advice from your instructor, GIN dealer or importer.

Preflight checks For maximum...

Deployment procedure Rescue deployment It is vital to periodically feel the position of the rescue handle in normal flight, so that the action of reaching for the rescue is instinctive in an emergency.

On that basis, an instantaneous decision to deploy the rescue or not must be taken. Deploying the rescue when the glider is recoverable may increase the danger of injury.
