Congratulations on your purchase of the NearBirds ATACMS paragliding competition harness! To ensure your safety and enjoyment while using
this harness, it is important to follow some basic safety tips. This section manual will provide you with some important guidelines to follow while
using your harness.
Always inspect your harness before use: Before each flight, inspect your harness carefully for any signs of damage or wear. Check for any loose
stitching, frayed straps, or other signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, do not use the harness until it has been repaired or replaced.
Ensure proper fit: Make sure that your harness fits you properly and is adjusted to your body size. A properly fitting harness will be snug, but not
too tight, and will allow you to move freely while still providing support and stability.
Familiarize yourself with the harness: Before using the harness, take some time to familiarize yourself with its features and how to use them.
Practice putting on and taking off the harness, adjusting the straps, and using any buckles or other components.
Use appropriate safety gear: Always wear appropriate safety gear while paragliding, including a helmet, appropriate clothing, and any other
necessary safety equipment.
Follow proper cocoon harness rules: If you are using the cocoon feature of the harness, make sure you are familiar with the proper rules for
entering and exiting the cocoon. Practice entering and exiting the cocoon on the ground before attempting to do so in the air.
Be aware of your surroundings: Always be aware of your surroundings while flying and take appropriate precautions to avoid any obstacles or
hazards. Be mindful of weather conditions and adjust your flight plan accordingly.
By following these basic safety tips and guidelines, you can help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience while using your NearBirds ATACMS
paragliding competition harness. Always prioritize your safety and take appropriate precautions to minimize any risks associated with
paragliding.
