Safety information Like all commercially available reserve parachutes, paraglider harnesses are never suitable for free fall parachuting because their design and construction details do not allow such a thing. Neither the reserve parachute nor its attachments to the harness can withstand the loadings involved in an abrupt opening. All harness adjustments should be made before the harness is flown. Correct adjustment of the EASINESS 3 greatly contributes to safety, correct function and comfort in flight. No protector can offer complete protection against injury. The EASINESS 3...

ADVANCE recommend that you make yourself thoroughly familiar with the adjustment possibilities before your first test flight with the harnesses, and always choose quiet conditions for this. Info: for realistic adjustment the harness back pack should be packed as for flight, and the reserve mounted as well. These preparations will provide a good simulation of an in-flight...
