In this video I explain the essentials about the use of the reserve parachute: when to use it, how to use it, how to land and what to check before flying with one.
The reserve parachute is essential when we fly in the mountains, especially in thermal conditions. This will be our last resort in the event of an incident that we cannot control and that makes us lose height quickly, such as ties (when the glider gets tangled between the lines), line breaks, very large collapses close to the ground, etc.
There are two systems for carrying the reserve: The most used is on the back of the chair. In this, the parachute is located in an internal container of the harness located mostly at the rear, although some harnesses have it on the side. In both cases, once we put on the harness we will not be able to check if the reserve pin is correctly located.
