G-chute manual: 9
Liability, warranty exclusion and operating limitations
Use of the G-chute is at the pilot’s own risk! Any current paraglider or harness was tested
according to EN or CCC. However, the use of any drag chute will negate its certification.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any personal injury or material damage which
arises in connection with GIN GLIDERS’s products.
Pilots are responsible for their own safety and must ensure that the airworthiness of the
glider and G-chute is checked prior to every flight. The pilot should launch only if the
paraglider is airworthy. In addition, pilots must observe the relevant regulations in each
country.
The glider may only be used if the pilot has a licence which is valid for the area or is flying
under the supervision of an approved flying instructor. There shall be no liability on the
part of third parties, in particular the manufacturer and the dealer.
WARNING: The use of the G-chute will negate EN certification.
WARNING: The G-chute should be seen as an aid for stress-free descent. It does not
replace a proactive flying style and need to avoid dangerous conditions.
WARNING: The G-chute is made for paragliding use only.
