GIN G-Chute – Anti-G parachute for high-speed descents

The GIN G-Chute is a drag parachute specifically designed to reduce the high G-forces experienced during rapid spiral descents. It allows for a high rate of descent while limiting the physical stress on the pilot and the forces exerted on the canopy.

Mounted on the wing’s riser, the G-Chute deploys only during a spiral. Once the maneuver is complete, it can be easily deactivated using its central line before being folded away for future use.

The Benefits of the G-Chute

• Reduces the G-forces experienced during tight turns.
• Allows you to increase the rate of descent with fewer spiral turns.
• Reduces the driver's physical fatigue.
• Reduces mechanical stress on the canopy and lines.
• Lightweight, compact, and easy to install.
• Can be reused immediately after each use.

Depending on the type of wing and the rate of descent, the G-Chute can reduce the G-forces experienced by up to 30%. It is particularly useful for pilots flying high-aspect-ratio gliders, which generally generate higher accelerations during spiral descents.

For which drivers?

The G-Chute is designed for pilots who want to make fast descents with greater comfort and control, including:

• cross-country pilots;
• race car drivers;
• users of high-performance or high-aspect-ratio sails.

It is particularly recommended for pilots using a harness from the GIN Genie Race, though it is compatible with most harnesses and paragliders when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s manual.

Technical Specifications

• Area: 1.06 m²
• Weight: 300 g
• Approval: EN
• Usage: rapid spiral descent
• Installation: on the harness, using a dedicated pocket or a suitable attachment system depending on the harness.

Important

The G-Chute is a piece of equipment intended for experienced pilots who are proficient in steep spiral descents. It must be installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and is in no way a substitute for a reserve parachute.
