Subject field(s)
  • Skydiving, Paragliding and Hang Gliding
CONT

Although accidental deployments are not as common as they once were, it remains the pilots’ responsibility to check their equipment before every flight. Most accidental deployments could have been prevented if the pilot had performed a thorough preflight and maintained awareness of their parachute system. Checking the safety pin prior to launch, taking care not to snag the handle while launching or grab the wrong strap when trying to adjust the harness helps prevent accidental deployments.

CONT

No risk of accidental deployment: Unintentional deployments are too frequent, ... it is unacceptable to have safety equipment which can cause problems during a routine flight.

CONT

The loop tensioner, which is recommended by the DHV, prevents unintentional deployment of the rescue system.
