3.10
inner container - deployment system
inner container and the extraction handle system, being either a handle fixed to the inner container, or a
free handle and handle attachment point(s) on the inner container
3.11
emergency parachute system
emergency parachute combined with its deployment system
3.12
anti falling-out system
system preventing unintentional slipping from a harness when the crotch straps are not closed
3.13

altering by the information provider, and enables the recipient to store the information in a way that is
accessible for future reference for as long as the user might reasonably need it
3.14
impact pad
pad fitted to a paraglider harness to reduce compression damage to the spine of the pilot
4 Safety requirements
4.1 General
All free ends of the harness straps shall be finished with a folded hem making it impossible for the
straps to pass through the adjustable buckles.
The harness shall be made in accordance with accepted practice for textile assemblies.
All attachment points provided on the harness (see Figure 1) that may be used for attachment of the
paraglider or emergency parachute shall be clearly marked in a contrasting colour to the other
webbing.
The attachment points for the emergency parachute shall not be in a position lower than the attachment
points of the paraglider and shal
