Reserve Parachute Deployment Sequence

1. Look at the deployment handle
2. Pass your thumb through the handle and close your fist around it
3. Open the container by pushing the handle aggressively to extract the pod
4. Aggressively throw the parachute towards clear air
5. Pull in the D risers of your paraglider to disable it
6. Prepare yourself for the landing impact

1. Looking at the deployment handle is vital so that you will be certain to get hold of it on your first attempt. A second try will cost precious time.

2. Hooking the thumb through the handle is the only way that guarantees you will get hold of it, especially when flying with gloves. Practice the first two steps in the deployment procedure frequently during regular flight so that it becomes second nature. Be careful not to cause an accidental deployment.

3. Pushing the deployment handle allows the container to be opened progressively and completely, and to extract the pod using the least possible effort.

4. An aggressive throw brings the parachute to full line extension in minimum time. The parachute must be thrown into clear air to reduce the chance of entanglement with the paraglider. If the paraglider still has forward speed in a more or less uniform direction, it is desirable to throw the parachute down and back. In the probable case that your paraglider is spinning with an asymmetric closure, throw the pod in the direction you are spinning and outwards from the center of rotation: centrifugal force will assist in getting the parachute away from you and your wing. If you are wrapped in your glider, all effort must be made to find open air before throwing. Remember that your decision to pull and throw your rescue parachute will also very much depend on your height above ground. If you are very high above ground you have time to try to regain control of your paraglider, or let it sort itself out with your pod in hand, waiting for the most favorable moment. If you are close to the ground, every millisecond is precious: act immediately. Remember that a very fast rotation can ultimately lead to your unconsciousness.

5. Pulling in the D risers, if you have enough height, will disable forward movement of your paraglider, otherwise it may have the opportunity to interfere with your parachute reducing its stability and increasing your sink rate. If you hold the Ds in one hand - always above the quick-links to be sure to do it symmetrically. If your lines are twisted - impossible to pull in the D - you can pull in as much brake lines as possible to collapse your wing; be careful to pull in both brakes symmetrically to avoid inducing your glider to spin which could be highly dangerous once your parachute has been deployed.

6. Prepare for landing by maintaining your composure and focus. Stay seated with legs as high as possible. Allow the paramotor cage to take the hit. 

Good luck and let's hope that you will never need this advice.
