Folding Rescue Parachute Round Paraglider

Round rescue parachute packing

Air et Aventure we pack your round rescue parachute. After unfolding the parachute and airing it for at least 24 hours, our instructors refold it in our workshop. This removes moisture and static electricity from the fabric.

Why pack your reserve parachute regularly?

1/ Air and dry the parachute. Polyamide is a hydrophilic fiber, so a parachute lying in snow or dew tends to "pump out" the surrounding moisture.

2/ Remove static electricity, which delays or even prevents your reserve from opening.

3/ Replace the elastics. Over time, rubber deteriorates, and can cause lines to stick together.

4/ Check the general condition of the parachute, remove any folding marks, etc...

When should I pack my parachute?

At least once or twice a year. Packing can be done at the end of the winter season, because of the risk of moisture absorption due to the presence of snow, and at the end of the summer season. However, it is necessary to do so whenever special circumstances justify it, such as an untimely opening of the parachute bag, a safety course on the lake or an increased risk of moisture absorption.

Mounting the harness

This is a very important step. Once you've completed the aeration and packing stages, all that's left to do is to install the rescue handle in the harness.

How do I pack my rescue parachute?

1/ Select the type of packing you need and place your order online.

2/ Send us your rescue in its POD, and the pocket if required. For shipping, you can request a shipping label in the order notes. Alternatively, you can choose the carrier of your choice. Don't forget to include your forwarding details and the work to be done inside the parcel.

3/ We'll fold and return the parcel to you by Colissimo (charged for folding).
