Rescue Parachute User Manual
1. Purpose
Our GLOBE parachute is designed for solo flying and tandem paraglider pilots. In
case of serious paraglider malfunction rendering further flight impossible, our
system reduces the sink rate and allows for safe landing.
As standard, the system comes packed in its inner bag, ready to be inserted into
harness-integrated container. Your harness should be equipped with its own
release handle and V- or H-shaped risers, leading from the shoulder straps to the
container. If any of these are missing, contact your harness dealer and/or
manufacturer, since length and shape of those parts can vary with harness model
and must exactly fit the one you are using.
As an option, you can get at Dudek Paragliders the externally mounted container,
its release handle and V-risers. It can be attached to the front or side of the
harness, depending on your preferences and harness characteristics.
Rescue parachute is activated manually by releasing the handle, pulling the bag
out of the container and throwing it out along the direction of the airflow (together
with the handle).

8. Packing the system
Before you start packing your parachute, it needs to be aired (that is - spread the
canopy and straighten lines for 24 hours in a dry place of room temperature).
Then carefully check the canopy gore by gore, as well as suspension lines and
connecting riser for any damages.
Smooth and clean surface (a table would be best) of at least 7-10m x 1,0 m
dimensions is required for packing the system.
Fix the connecting riser to the edge of table and spread the parachute flat.
Find the first outer suspension line and keeping it in hand go to a data sheet
gore. Further along this line there are assistance straps sewn into top part of the
canopy. Lead an
assistance line
through these loops
and fix it to the other
edge of the table.
Start packing from
the data sheet gore.
The bag must be equipped with new elastic loops. Have more new loops at
hand, to keep the chute suspension lines sorted.

Place the data sheet gore on the right side of the table. Grab the first two
suspension lines together with central line and start flaking each wedge out
with the other hand, adding subsequent lines to the bundle. Stop after flaking
half of the total gores number.
Gores and wedges have to be pulled out completely and accurately. After
completing right half of the canopy, cover it with the unsorted left half and start
over again.
In the end check that no wedge was
overlooked and there is the same
number of wedges on each side. Sort
the top part of the canopy.
