paraglider is undertaken with the full knowledge that paragliding
involves such risks.
As the owner of an Ozone paraglider you take exclusive responsibility
for all risks associated with its use. Inappropriate use and or abuse
of your equipment will increase these risks.

parachute.

Paragliding design is led by the ever thoughtful David Dagault; Dav
has a wealth of experience both in competition, adventure flying and
paraglider design. Also on the design team are test pilots Russell
Ogden and Luc Armant. Russ is a top competition pilot and ex
paragliding instructor, he can usually be found putting Dav’s latest
creation through a series of test manoeuvres. Luc, a dedicated XC
addict has a background in naval architecture. He brings a wealth of
knowledge and ideas to the design team and works closely with Dav in
the design process.
Back in the office Mike ‘Da Boss’ Cavanagh generally keeps control
of the mayhem. Promotion and Team pilots are organised by Matt
Gerdes. Karine Marconi and Jill Devine make sure we don’t spend too
much money and look after the ordering system.
Our manufacturing facility in Vietnam is headed up by Dr Dave
Pilkington, who works relentlessly manufacturing gliders and producing prototypes as well as researching materials and manufacturing
processes for our future products. He is backed up by Khanh and
400 production staff.
Everyone at Ozone continues to be driven by our
passion for flying, our love of adventure and our
quest to see Ozone’s paraglider development create
better, safer and more versatile paragliders.
Pay special attention to the terrain you will be flying and the weather
conditions before you launch. If you are unsure do not fly, and always
add a large safety margin to all your decisions.
Avoid flying your glider in rain, snow, strong wind, and turbulent
weather conditions or clouds.\Remember, PLEASURE is the reason
for our sport.
