Safety advice
Like all commercial reserve parachutes, paraglider harnesses, because of their design, are not at all suitable for freefall parachuting.
The reserve and its attachments are not designed for an abrupt
opening.
(SSHKQ\Z[TLU[Z[V[OLOHYULZZZOV\SKKLÄUP[LS`ILTHKLILMVYLÅPNO[
Correct harness settings contribute decisively to functioning, safety
HUKJVTMVY[PUÅPNO[
The impact protector in the pelvis/back area of the harness, in this
manual referred to as the Airbag, does not provide complete and
comprehensive protection from injury. It merely serves to attenuate
[OLLULYN`VMPTWHJ[ZHUK[O\ZTPUPTPZLPUQ\Y`^OPJOTH`YLZ\S[

When carrying out paraglider sports every pilot bears sole responsibility for all risks including injury and death. Neither the manufacturer
nor the seller of a paraglider can guarantee or be held responsible for
the pilot’s safety.
The AXESS 3 AIR is only to be used for paragliding.

The seatboard angle can be quickly adjusted to any position. Seatboard setting is purely a matter of taste, to suit the pilot’s preference.
Tip: Loosened seatboard straps make it very easy to slip into
the harness after takeoff, and the resulting bent leg angle
provides roll stability.
