Loonix 0 #4 November 11, 2005 well, I don't know the first thing about paragliding, so... what happened? He was flying fine, and then suddenly he's spiraling, and had to deploy reserve.. got any paragliders here who could tell me about this?

Anyone know if you can cutaway paraglider main before going to reserve?

I've seen vids of a couple of PG reserve rides, and cutting away was never done nor mentioned Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites vpozzoli 0 #9 November 11, 2005 QuoteWatch his risers and lines right before the mal - they get really soft.
