WARNING: Be sure to perform any

simulated collapses correctly. In

particular, full speed asymmetric

collapses performed incorrectly

may result in unpredictable collapse

behaviour and impulsive re-opening.

This behaviour may require considerable

pilot skill to manage safely.

Other modes of ﬂight

SIV / Safety training

Perform any SIV / safety training with care. Due to the advanced design features of the

paraglider, collapses incorrectly induced by the pilot may have more signiﬁcant consequences

than collapses collapses which may occur in the course of normal ﬂight (due to to turbulence etc.).

Cross lines

A cross line was used for the certiﬁcation of the Carrera. A cross line is a single line going from

one riser to any position on an opposite A-line or A-line attachment point. Cross lines are used to

help the test pilot to collapse the canopy asymmetrically at a speciﬁc place in the leading edge

and with a speciﬁc kink angle. EN tests specify a collapse of 75% of the leading edge, 45 degrees

kink angle. Without a cross line, the high impulse and pulling force which is needed to induce the

collapse may result in a larger collapse and/or kink angle than was intended.

Please contact your local GIN dealer if you have any questions regarding use of the cross line.

Material stress

During a safety training course, avoid subjecting the materials of your paraglider to excessive

stress. Uncontrolled ﬂight positions may occur which are outside the manufacturer limits of the

paraglider. This may cause a general deterioration in ﬂight characteristics, premature ageing, or

even structural failure.
