Warning

Like any extreme sport, paragliding involves unpredictable risks which may lead to injury or

death. By choosing to fly, you assume the sole responsibility for those risks. You can minimize the

risks by having the appropriate attitude, training and experience and by properly understanding,

using and maintaining your equipment. Always seek to expand your knowledge and to develop

self-reliance. If there is anything you do not understand, consult with your local dealer as a first

point of contact, with the GIN importer in your country or with Gin Gliders directly.

Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition that can occur while

paragliding, this manual makes no representation about the safe use of the paragliding equipment

under all conditions. Neither Gin Gliders nor the seller of GIN equipment can guarantee, or be held

responsible for, the safety of yourself or anyone else.

Many countries have specific regulations or laws regarding paragliding activity. It’s your

responsibility to know and observe the regulations of the region where you fly.

About Gin Gliders

Dream

In forming Gin Gliders, designer and competition pilot Gin Seok Song had one simple dream:

to make the best possible paragliding equipment that pilots all over the world would love to fly—

whatever their ambitions.

At Gin Gliders, we bring together consultant aerodynamists, world cup pilots, engineers and

paragliding school instructors, all dedicated to fulfilling this dream.

Touch

We’re a “hands-on” company that puts continuous innovation and development at the centre of

everything we do.

At our purpose-built R&D workshop at head office in Korea, we are able to design, manufacture,

test-fly and modify prototypes all in a matter of hours. Our international R&D team is on hand both

in Korea and at locations worldwide. This guarantees that your equipment has been thoroughly

tested to cope with the toughest flying conditions.

Our own production facilities in East Asia ensure the quality of the finished product and also

the well-being of our production staff.

Believe

We believe that the product should speak for itself. Only by flying can the pilots understand

their equipment and develop trust and confidence in it. From this feeling comes safety, comfort,

performance and fun. The grin when you land should say it all!

Introducing the Fuse Passenger

The Fuse passenger harness has been designed with several new features to improve safety, comfort
and increase the life of the product while keeping all of the features you’ve grown to love in the Safari.
For safety we made the airbag 20% larger to decrease the force of rough landings and increase the safety
margin for accidents on launch. We incorporated the GIN Get-up-system for the leg and chest straps to
prevent passengers from falling out of the harness by simplifying the 3 buckle system into 2 easy quick
connects.
With the newly added seat plate you will gain better handling, increased comfort and better spine
protection. We added a small foam pad in the rear of the harness to increase comfort and protect the
passenger’s spine from the pilots seat plate in the event of a hard landing. The rear pocket on the
passenger harness has been reduced in size to improve the pilot’s comfort during flight. Extra storage
space has been added to the pilot harness for convenience.
