Is going with a pod harness really worth the gain in performance? XC mag sheds some light on the subject. Enjoy!

This will only be poss…

PPL are always asking how safe paragliders are if there was ever a line break or gear malfunction. This video although an extreme example, definitely proves the Point that it takes a lot to bring a glider out of the air! Thanks Jake for the share!
