The GINSOFT III is designed to help protect the pilot in case of an impact and to reduce the
energy of the impact as much as possible, but it cannot completely eliminate the risk of injury.

The GINSOFT III is freely compatible, which means that it can be used with any harness with a

container large enough for the back protection.

Lateral protection

You can add lateral protection to the Basis RC, as well as back protection, by fitting a pair of Gin

side impact plates.

Optional Extras

The following items are available as optional extras.

Rescue parachute

The Basis and Basis RC are designed for use with GIN rescue parachutes, like the ONE G and Yeti
rescue (the Basis requires a suitable external reserve container to be added). Other

manufacturers’ rescue systems may also be used. Every first installation of a rescue system

into the harness (that means every new combination of harness and rescue system) must be

checked by a qualified paragliding professional. This is called a "compatibility check". In this

compatibility check the pilot himself, who will be flying with this harness, must always sit in

the harness hanging from a simulator and deploy the rescue from the harness container. This
check must also be done each time after the rescue has been repacked and re-installed.
