Kortel Design Krisis Karré 100 Mode D'emploi page 32

Rev. 5
No stall possible
The steering forces of the Krisis Karre are relatively high and the system reacts much
slower to directional changes than a paraglider. There is no risk of a stall, even in the
case of impulsive an severe steering with the brake handles.
Forward speed reduces risk of injury
The human body is most vulnerable to injury when the velocity vector is directed
towards the spine and the impact area is at right angles to that axis.
A forward speed in combination with considerably lower sink rates is thus always
associated with a lower risk of injury than an impact at right angle and higher vertical
speed, even if forward speed is increased by tailwind.
Lower sink rates allow for more time to react
The low sink rate gives the pilot more time to prepare for landing.
We thus recommend the following course of action after rescue system deployment:
1) Pull handle, remove inside container from harness or outside container, throw
the container down, direction legs. Check after 5 seconds if the canopy has opened
proper.
2) Orientation – check for flight direction (red tip) and altitude
3) Adjust the flight direction
In case of an imminent collision with an obstacle, immediaely change the flight
direction by pulling one brake handle (whatever side). Try also when the system is
twisted.
4) Reel in or separate the main glider (optional)
Separation can be achieved by:
a. a rapid separation carabiner
b. unhooking the risers from standard carabiners (a separation system for speed
pedals is highly recommended)
c. using a knife to cut through the risers or main lines in case of emergency;
material damage is always better than personal injury – a cutting knife should
therefore always be an essential part of a pilot's standard equipment!
5) Check the flight direction
Re-adjust the flight direction if necessary
6) Untwist
7) Approach a landing spot
In the remaining time, approach the nearest area in which a safe, injury-free landing
seems possible. Under no circumstances, attempt to cross power supply lines or other
obstacles at low altitude if the intended landing area is behind the obstacle!
