PACKING

SKY emergency parachutes have been specially conceived to facilitate all stages
of packing. The following MANUAL is aimed at pilots who are competent in
packing Rogallo parachutes. The manual itself cannot serve as a substitute for
proper training in parachute packing.
The safety and reliability of the system can only be guaranteed if it has been
packed by a trained professional following the correct packing process.
