  • Paraglider reserve being deployed, due to repack.
    Mild winds assist to show just how fast the Apex Pull Down chute deploys.
    I did this video just to explain the basics of a paraglider reserve - PLEASE NOTE THAT EACH RESERVE IS DIFFERENT
    Its well worth throwing your reserve before repack. Get to know your kit, know where the line is to collapse it when you have landed. This alone could prevent serious injury or even death.
    Apologies for the wind distortion - but i couldn't repack and do it again :)

    The cool thing about the paragliding school I went to (one of the many cool things) is that if we ever have to throw our reserve they will give us a new handle and deployment bag, it’s kinda an incentive to use our reserve if we need to. When in doubt throw it out.

      I did laugh to myself when it happened... Then had to find something else 😂

    Was thinking about trying this sport... seeing the backup parachut break free put me back on cold 😰

      It ok not broke free because I want using a specialist strap mate . It won’t do that for real

    A good idea perhaps is to write your contact info on the bag. That way if someone else finds it you have a chance of getting it returned.

    Nice to see one out of the bag. I have the same rescue set up, used with ozone oxygen 1 harness and sol Attak 20 speedwing 👍
    Subed 👍😎🪂

    Nice Dan, it really is that simple. Thought you might shift that goal post he he!! Yes inner bags from Uk Airsports (24.99 GBP and really swift delivery - not my firm!) well worth loosing the bag to save your life. Club Repacks in Spring with Derbyshire Soaring Club, all welcome. Damn this wind currently hey, too strong even for miniwings UK!! But soon!

      I should have maybe gone into collapsing the reserve a little more, as its never really spoken about.
      Iv had a few things from UK airports, decent shop!
      Il attend the repack, it's all knowlege at the end of the day.
      I'm watching the weather like a hawk, Wednesday has potential at this stage, just work is the issue 😂

    why isnt the inside container attached to the reserve parachute

    • @DansEscapades
      @DansEscapades  3 роки тому +2

      This is because it may cause issues with the reserve deploying. The whole idea I think is to keep it super simple.. Get the reserve into the airflow as fast as possible 😁

    Next time please shield the microphone from the wind. Easy to do and makes your video seem a lot more professional.

      Not easy to do when the missus is dangerous with a camera🤣
