WARNING
Paragliding is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause serious injury including
bodily harm, paralysis and death. Flying an Ozone paraglider is undertaken with the
full knowledge that paragliding involves 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.
Make sure you seek professional tuition and learn with a reputable school.
Ozone paragliders are only suitable for qualified pilots or those under instruction.
Any liability claims resulting from use of this product towards the manufacturer,
distributor or dealers is excluded.
Be prepared to practice as much as you can - especially ground handling, as this is
a critical aspect of paragliding. Poor control while on the ground is one of the most
common causes of accidents.
Be ready to continue your learning by attending advanced courses to follow the
evolution of our sport, as techniques and materials keep improving.
Use only certified paragliders, harnesses with protector and reserve parachutes that
are free from modification, and use them only within their certified weight ranges.
Please remember that flying a glider outside its certified configuration may jeopardise
any insurance (e.g. liability, life etc) you have. It is your responsibility as the pilot to
verify your insurance cover.
Make sure you complete a thorough daily and pre-flight inspection of all of your
equipment. Never attempt flying with unsuitable or damaged equipment.
Always wear a helmet, gloves and boots.
All pilots should have the appropriate level of license for their respective country and
third party insurance.
Make sure that you are physically and mentally healthy before flying.
Choose the correct wing, harness and conditions for your level of experience.
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.
If you use good, safe judgment you will enjoy many years of paragliding.
Remember, PLEASURE is the reason for our sport
TEAM OZONE
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.
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 Jerome Canaud and Russell Ogden. Jerome is a true acro
spirit who has instructed paragliding for many years. Russell is a top competition pilot
and paragliding instructor - they can usually be found putting Dav's latest creation
through a series of tests and acro manoeuvres.
Back in the office Mike 'Da Boss' Cavanagh generally keeps control of the mayhem.
Promotion and Team pilots are organised by Matt Gerdes, our resident base jumping
expert. Manu Prissette looks after all our adverts, videos and communication, as well
as trying to keep the computers running. Karine Marconi makes sure we don't spend
too much money whilst if you phone us you are likely to hear the dulcet tones of Nicky
Watts.
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
Ngan and 400 production staff.
YOUR GEO 2
The Geo 2 is Ozone's latest intermediate light weight development. It is designed for
any pilot who loves to walk, climb, explore and travel. As a development of the Geo
2 the Geo 2 is the highest performance light weight intermediate adventure wing that
Ozone has produced. Not only is the Geo 2 Light in weight, but it packs away small
making it a dream for those long walk ups or distant adventures. The Geo 2 has an
easy launch, fun handling, excellent performance and DHV1 -2 safety, to give the
recreational adventure pilot even more fun.
It replaces the successful Geo, using up to date technology; advanced profiles, new
planform, increased number of cells, optimised cell openings and cross port vents,
innovative use of materials all resulting in higher performance.
The lovely new planform with swept tips and proportional reduction in cell size near
the tips creates a well balanced and efficient wing. Reducing cell width near the tip
ensures a smooth airflow in this aerodynamically critical area which helps performance
and handling.
Made from Porcher Skytex 36gr as used on the original Geo, this material has a proven
