INTENDED USE: Lightweight air sports
equipment with a maximum mass of less than
120kg, operated in the paragliding division.
Warning
Like any extreme sport, paragliding involves unpredictable risks which may lead to injury or death. By
choosing to fly, you assume the sole responsibility for those risks. You can minimize the risks by having
the appropriate attitude, training and experience and by properly understanding, using and maintaining
your equipment. Always seek to expand your knowledge and to develop self-reliance. If there is anything
you do not understand, consult with your local dealer as a first point of contact, with the GIN importer in
your country or with Gin Gliders directly.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition that can occur while paragliding, this
manual makes no representation about the safe use of the paragliding equipment under all conditions.
Neither Gin Gliders nor the seller of GIN equipment can guarantee, or be held responsible for, the safety of
yourself or anyone else.
Many countries have specific regulations or laws regarding paragliding activity. It’s your responsibility
to know and observe the regulations of the region where you fly.

About Gin Gliders
Dream
In forming Gin Gliders, designer and competition pilot Gin Seok Song had one simple dream: to make
the best possible paragliding equipment that pilots all over the world would love to fly—whatever their
ambitions.
At Gin Gliders, we bring together consultant aerodynamists, world cup pilots, engineers and paragliding
school instructors, all dedicated to fulfilling this dream.

and modify prototypes all in a matter of hours. Our international R&D team is on hand both in Korea and
at locations worldwide. This guarantees that your equipment has been thoroughly tested to cope with the
toughest flying conditions.
Our own production facilities in East Asia ensure the quality of the finished product and also the well-
being of our production staff.

We believe that the product should speak for itself. Only by flying can the pilots understand their
equipment and develop trust and confidence in it. From this feeling comes safety, comfort, performance
and fun. The grin when you land should say it all!

Introducing the Safari Passenger 2
The Safari Passenger 2 is for both pro and leisure pilots who are looking for a harness that’s lightweight,
compact and easy to use.
Light and compact
The Safari Passenger 2 weighs only 1.7kg and packs quickly and easily. It is made of high quality, durable
materials such as premium quality webbing and our latest honeycomb fabric. The profile is compact, whilst
comfort in the air is excellent. There are no pressure points, even on longer flights.
Convenient storage
Storage and pockets have been carefully considered to match the Safari 2 pilot harness. The goal was to
offer convenient and flexible storage options while retaining simplicity and light weight. A strip of velcro
on the shoulder strap accomodates a vario.
Built to last
A reinforced skid guard on the bottom of the airbag offers protection against wear and tear and can be
easily removed and replaced if it becomes worn or damaged. The harness comes in one size, but can be
fully adjusted to accommodate a wide range of passenger sizes.

Features and innovation
Split leg
The split leg design is based on the original Safari. We carefully designed the split leg system for
comfortable take-off. The split leg design makes entering the harness after take-off very simple and safe
for the passenger allowing the pilot more time to focus on a clean launch without needing to worrying
about the comfort of their passenger
Back protection
The Safari Passenger 2 features a newly designed back protector. Made with extra durable materials
and a newly designed skid guard. Special attention was made to ensure the back protector passed our GIN
safety standard. Like all of GIN’s airbag harnesses, the Safari Passenger 2 passes both the pre-inflation
and flight simulation shock test. This ensures the safest harness for both lanching and landing even if the
airbag is not fully inflated.
Forward air inflation
The safari passenger features a forward air inlet system for fast inflation of the back protection. The
split leg geometry of the harness allows for easy inflation without the passengers legs blocking the air
inlet.
Skid guard
On the bottom of the aribag we have added an improved skid guard to protect the harness in the event
of a rough landing or repeated landings on a rough surface. This extra, heavy duty fabric can be easily
removed and replaced if ever worn or damaged. It can also be easily removed to allow access to the
airbag inlet for simple debris removal.
Safety handles
The “Safety handles” are identified by the red webbing loop handles on the sides of the harness. In
stronger conditions, a helping hand on the ground may help ensure a smoother launch.
Velcro shoulder straps
Located on both shoulders straps of the passenger harness are Velcro strips and attachment loops. This
allows an excellent position for flight insturments or a POV (point of view) camera mount.

WARNING: If you are in any doubt about any
aspect of rescue installation, seek professional
advice!
Before you fly
Make sure your dealer has checked the harness for completeness and basic settings. Your harness must
be assembled by a suitably qualified paragliding professional, for example, your instructor.
Adjustments
Adjust your harness to suit your physique and flying style. It is important to adjust it correctly
to ensure you can easily slide into the sitting position after take off. A poorly adjusted harness can
adversely affect the flying characteristics of your paraglider.
Perform adjustments before your first flight by hanging in a simulator and fine-tune the settings if
necessary during your first few flights.
Shoulder straps (1)
The optimum setting for the shoulder straps depends on the height of the passenger. Step into the
harness and stand upright with the breast strap closed, symmetrically adjust the shoulder straps until
they are a snug fit, but not tight.
To tighten: pull down on the red and white loop
To loosen: pull up on the BLACK loop
Lateral Straps (2)
The lateral straps adjust the angle between the thighs and the back. Lengthening the straps increases
the angle and vice-versa. The easiest way to adjust them correctly is during a flight in calm air. Remember
that flying in the supine position (i.e. leaning back), reduces the stability of the harness and increases the
risk of riser twists after a deflation.
To tighten, pull forward on BLACK and GREEN loop.
To loosen, pull back on the BLACK loop.
Breast strap (4)
After adjusting the shoulder straps, place the breast strap in a comfortable position and tighten so there
is slight pressure on the shoulder straps. Shoulder strap
