- flyhalo.com In this extended Motor Minute, Team Fly Halo Instructor Shane Denherder and Super Fly Instructor Chris Santacroce go over some of the basics that they share with their students. While this is not meant to be a comprehensive list of what you need to know - it can get you going in the right direction.
This episode covers the selection, installation, situations, and deployment of a reserve as well as tips on what to do AFTER you've thrown. Please get with your instructor regarding training and practice reserve throws.
Team Fly Halo aims to make this sport safer through fun and informative 'motor minute' videos that we publish twice a month. Have ideas for our next paramotor tech tip video? Please comment below and let us know.
Special thanks to Super Fly Paragliding for the facilities and top notch input.

I wanted to add something I took away from my own recent experience. When I threw my reserve, the prop still had rotational momentum and immediately wrapped the reserve's lines into it. This kept the reserve from fully opening as well as pitched me forward on decent. I understand that the reserve needs momentum to deploy and that throwing it to the back probably ensures the best chance of the most speed for opening, but my new mental exercise when I run through deployment scenarios is "hit the kill switch, grab the handle, throw "ahead" and to the side".
"If you think you need to throw the reserve"......."You Need To Throw The Reserve!!!!".....best advice.
Excellent information...and much appreciated! Thanks for putting this video together for me and everyone else that flies.
Bravo! Thank you for instilling more confidence in me and my skills.
Really nicely done.
Nice job guys- very informative and well put-together. This is a benefit for all PPGers.
Valuable info gents, thank you for putting it together!
Thank you! Excellent vid! Are there controllable Reserves? Should you practice an actual Reserve landing?
Loving this site...why did I not find it earlier????
Q: When you pull the B Risers to disable the glider, do you continue to hold the B's until you hit the ground ?
I just ordered an ozone angle square 140. I have a heavey old flyproducts and Im 180ish. Im cool?
One thing I can't find ANYWHERE - is a video r explanation on how to land under a reserve parachute with a paramotor on your back.
Great video! Thanks ~
Your competitors down arrowed you : )
PARAMOTOR. BEFORE U USE THE RESERVE MAKE SURE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING SWITCHED OFF.
Would it be ill-advised to attempt to pull the glider in (after successful reserve deployment) using the A' line (wing-tip lines)?
J. R. Skola I know your comment is 3 years d and I've never paraglided but my understanding is that it would be much more difficult to try to pull in your A lines to disable the wing. of course if you are in the situation where you have to throw your reserve, disabling your main any way that you can is better than doing nothing.
NOT THE A -LINES!. THE B -LINESS OE BRAKE LINES.JUST TRY AND GATHER THE WING IN.WITHOUT TANGLING WITH THE RESERVE. SAVVEY
Guys, why don't you talk about killing the engine before reserve deployment? What about you advising throwing the reserve backwards, closer to the prop, frame and hoop? Would you not think that by throwing the reserve behind, there would be more chance of the parachute lines catching on the underside of the cage, on the prop or hoop and tipping the pilot upside down? What about the benefits of the pilot hauling in the glider to stop it interfering with the reserve or down planing. SIV courses I have attended always suggest getting hold of the wing is best practice. Have your methods changed since you made this video?
