Thus in the case of a \u003cstrong\u003every low deployment\u003c\/strong\u003e the pilot only has to think about landing correctly (parachute landing fall), \u003cstrong\u003ewithout having to worry about eventual complications\u003c\/strong\u003e. This safety enhancing feature is only possible due to the large surface area of the \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the case of a \u003cstrong\u003edeployment at higher altitude\u003c\/strong\u003e the pilot can, in a second phase, \u003cstrong\u003etake control of the brakes\u003c\/strong\u003e and benefit from the incomparable glide ratio and sink rate of the parachute which give it an \u003cstrong\u003eundeniable safety advantage\u003c\/strong\u003e over a hemispherical parachute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e weighs just \u003cstrong\u003eunder 2kg\u003c\/strong\u003e including the inner container for a surface of 42m². \u003cbr\u003eWe have chosen only the best materials and thanks to a light fabric that is both strong enough and highly durable, as well as a new type of suspension line, the weight and volume are very low despite a surface area of 42m².\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics of the Krisis Rogallo 130\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn extremely rapid opening time for such a high surface area (EN tested: \u003cstrong\u003e2 seconds\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSink rate at full load (130kg) : EN tested: \u003cstrong\u003e3.8m\/s\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1950 g with inner container\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Parachute opens with the brakes applied resulting in very little horizontal displacement (in the case of a deployment close to a rock face for example)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferent brake positions allow the \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e to be optimally installed whether attached at the shoulder level or to the main karabiners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe direct effect of the brakes allows turning practically on the spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe specific construction of the risers improves stability when the pilot is in an asymmetric position (in the case of a riser twist for example).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery low packed volume\u003c\/strong\u003e (5429 cm3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour leaf inner container with additional safety equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOpening Behaviour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its particular shape and specific packing method the \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e opens \u003cstrong\u003eup to 50% faster than a standard round parachute\u003c\/strong\u003e. The specific packing technique renders \u003cstrong\u003ecravats practically impossible\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new feature is the fully braked configuration of the canopy upon opening which greatly reduces the horizontal displacement. This corresponds to the wish of many pilots to benefit from the \u003cstrong\u003eadvantages of a round parachute which descends vertically combined with those of a Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e which can glide and is steerable. When opened near a rock face for example the \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e descends almost vertically. The canopy only starts to glide forward once the pilot takes control of the brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDeployment and Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deployment of the \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e is the same as that of a normal reserve parachute (pull and throw). It slowly moves forward and can be steered with the two brakes even if the paraglider remains attached: this slow horizontal airspeed reduces the loading on the paraglider allowing it to be B-stalled with only one hand. The other hand can thus be used to steer the parachute. \u003cbr\u003eIf a quick release system is used to release the paraglider the Krisis Rogallo can be used to its maximum effect: \u003cstrong\u003ethe glide ratio is doubled\u003c\/strong\u003e for a slight increase in the sink rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation in the Harness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e can be installed in a front-mounted container (like the \u003ca title=\"Kortel Kontainer - Flybubble Online Shop\" href=\"http:\/\/shop.flybubble.co.uk\/kortel-kontainer\"\u003eKontainer\u003c\/a\u003e size L for example) or in the integrated container of a harness. The parachute is either attached to the main karabiners (front-mounted container) or at shoulder level for containers that are integrated into the harness. Warning: In order for the parachute to be attached at shoulder level the harness must be pre-equipped with specific attachment points for this purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Data Krisis Rogallo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat Surface Area:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41.75m2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight Including Inner Container:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1950gr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Load:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSink Rate Loaded to 130kg (EN tested):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.8m\/sec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpening time (EN tested):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2sec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePacked Volume:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5429ccm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Panels:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Central Lines:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9x2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertification:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEP 046.2011 \/ RG 046.2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTest Standards and Guidelines Applied:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEN 12491:2001 \/ 2.DV LuftGerPV §1, Nr.7c\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I have to release my paraglider when I open the reserve?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNo, the reserve can be steered without any problem.

It moves forward at only a very low speed and will not be destabilized by a paraglider that is in a strong spiral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I steer my Rogallo reserve parachute without releasing my paraglider?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYes. Thanks to the reduced horizontal speed load on the paraglider is reduced and it can easily be neutralised by a B-stall with one hand allowing the reserve to be steered with the other hand. If there is enough altitude the pilot can even pull in and bundle up the paraglider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if the parachute and the paraglider become tangled?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this extreme situation the \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e acts like a standard round parachute.

As Rogallo reserves are becoming more popular there are more and more qualified packers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e with a low all-up weight?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEven with a very light load the in flight characteristics and manoeuvrability remain the same, the forward speed and sink rate are lower than with a heavier pilot. The rapid opening time of the \u003cstrong\u003eKrisis Rogallo\u003c\/strong\u003e easily competes with that of a small sized standard round parachute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have made a deliberate choice to avoid using cheap ultra light materials.
