Theme: Anaylisis of the paragliding rescue parachute opening Aims: To contribute safety in paragliding comunity by comparing rescue parachute speed openings.We will test different types and brands and focus mainly on speed of openings from the time of deployment to fully inflated rescue parachute. We will try to simulate it as close to the real situations as possible. Methodology: For our test we used a swing bridge where we attachad a rope. Pilot would always swing on the rope and deploy the rescue parachute. Each test was recorded on the camera so we could evaulate the speed of openings and stability. Each test was split in to 5 parts - drop in (rebound), swing, dead point (stall point), deployment, mening. Another method was experimental personality characteristics of the person conducting the investigation. Results: Results : After full analysis of the survey we found that a main factor of the reserve opening is the pilot as the direction and the strenght of the throw are the key factors for the reserve to open.Fastest open parachute in our test was cirus delta it opened in 3.17 seconds from the start of throw to open. Key words: paragliding, speed, rescue parachute, process of opening
