Landing with the Genie Race 3
Before landing, slide your legs forward in the harness so that you adopt the standing position.
NEVER land in the seated position—it is very dangerous even if you have back protection.
Standing up before landing is an active safety precaution.
Miscellaneous
Towing
The Genie Race 3 can be used for towing. Be sure to use the propper towing bridle equipment.
Tandem Flying
The Genie Race 3 is not designed for tandem flying. See www.gingliders.com for details of our
harnesses specifically designed for tandem flying.
Flying over water
Water landings should be avoided at all costs, as the back protection increases the risk of the
pilot floating in a head-down position. For safety training over water, we recommend wearing a
proper floatation vest with a head support holding the wearer’s head above the surface even when
unconscious.
