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.
