Connecting the Harness to the Paraglider

First step is getting your harness on.

You want to get into your harness before you get into the glider.

That way once you hook in, you are in control.

So you are going to make sure you connect both leg straps.

Each harness is a little different.

Basically you need to connect both your leg straps and your chest strap.

Once you are connected to your harness you never want to partially disconnect from your harness.

Because you may forget to click back in once you are ready for flight.

The next step is going to hooking the harness into the wing.

So what you are going to do is just get a little pressure on the lines holding onto the lines where they connect into the carabineers.

You are going to find your A risers, and make your A risers are on top and go to the leading edge of the wing with no other lines over them.

Then you are going to find your rear risers, and make sure they are going to the trailing end of the wing with no tangles.

You should hold your arms apart and make sure there are no tangles along any of the lines.

You are going to have the risers held parallel and you are going to twist them 180 degrees.

Depending on which way you turn, turn them in that direction 180 degrees. If you turn left, turn the riser 180 degrees to the left.

Then holding them together parallel, you are going to hook them into your carabineers.

Please make sure not to untwist the risers as you are hooking in.

Now that you are hooked in, what should happen is A’s should be on the front away from you ready to fly.

Once you done this a few times, you won’t have to check as many times by turning all the way around.

You can do what is called the half turn.

You just turn half way and make sure that your A’s are away properly that way you do not have to fully turn away from the glider.

Now you are hooked in and ready to grab your brakes.
