BGD Reserve – Wow

Description

BRUCE GOLDSMITH DESIGN WOW SQUARE RESERVE PARACHUTE

The WOW reserve is for pilots who want a reserve for everyday flying that is fast opening, reliable, and safe. A reserve parachute is an essential component to every pilot’s flying gear and even though none of us would ever plan on using it, having a reserve you can count on is crucial. Don’t scrimp on safety!

The Wow is a modern square reserve parachute with a fast opening time, low sink rate and high pendulum stability. The corner cut-outs make it very stable in descent straight after deployment, and the symmetrical design prevents system-related forward movement, resulting In a stable descent with easy landing.

The reserve comes with a fast-opening lightweight deployment bag made of high strength rip-stop with 4 holding flaps. It is compatible with most standard paragliding harnesses.

Bruce’s Notes…

I fly almost every day for pleasure and work. I demand a lot from my equipment and have been impressed by the WOW reserve. Packing size, weight, and durability mean the parachute is perfect for my normal flying gear and I can use it for many years to come.

The materials and technologies used in the construction ensure the WOW’s reliability and robustness for a long service life. It is made from lightweight materials and packs down small. The panels are CNC precision cut, and the polyamide lines attach to the canopy with traditional loops, so they are quick and easy to replace if necessary. The lines have some stretch, so they absorb some of the impact of a deployment.

The reserve is packed in a lightweight inner container which is designed to open in any direction. If you need it to open, you need it to open!
