“Pre-owned is very different from Used.” This large Quantum 330 emergency reserve parachute with paraswivel has been recently inspected and freshly repacked.  It is pre-owned and has been installed in a pilot's harness, but has never been used. The parachute and lines are all clean and 100% undamaged. The bridle, bridle sheath and deployment bag are all about 98% clean and 100% undamaged. This parachute was built to the most up-to-date contemporary standards of materials and workmanship, with V-tab construction, Spectra lines, and a Type 18 Nylon hang gliding bridle, the industry standard. The Quantum has a unique Round Airfoil design which is superior to PDA and even Annular parachute designs, for a lightning-fast opening-time and the absolutely slowest descent rate possible. The large Quantum 330 is intended to provide a sensible & safe rate of descent with a Total Gross Payload of up to 330 pounds (in most cases, that would be up to 230 pounds for the pilot and a 100-pound allowance for the glider, harness, boots, etc.). This parachute is so good, the US Special Forces (USSF) jump an almost-identical version of this parachute in special ops...and the US Forest Service (USFS) Smoke Jumpers jump another almost-identical version of this parachute into forest-fire fighting operations. All versions of the Quantum are designed by Bill Gargano and manufactured to the same exacting standards. Why? Simply put: The Quantum is the best round parachute in the world. Period. Manufactured by High Energy Sports (HES), this parachute would cost $783.00 if purchased brand new today.

It’s often been said that reserve parachutes are good for twenty to thirty years if well cared for. Keep your parachute clean and dry, store it where it won’t be exposed to high humidity or extreme heat, and inspect & re-pack it every 6 to 12 months. Note: Hang Gliding is a form of aviation which is considered a hazardous sport with inherent risks. You must have proper instruction from a qualified instructor before undertaking any aspect of Hang Gliding or Paragliding. Fly cautiously, because you are safer if you don’t get into an emergency than you are if you need your reserve parachute to get out of one. No reserve parachute is 100% reliable, and no one should intentionally ride one down except to escape from an actual emergency. Seller accepts no responsibility or liability for the purchase and or subsequent use (or misuse) of this item, or any subsequent consequences, including property damage, injury or death. No warranties are implied or extended. By bidding on this auction you are agreeing with the above statement and you are agreeing to hold the seller harmless.  If you need to find an instructor, feel free to ask seller about instruction in your area or consult .Safety Policy and Return/Restocking/Repacking Fee: It is the policy of this professional facility to perform a fresh repack & inspection (value: $50) just prior to shipping out a parachute. If you return this parachute for any reason, even if you never even opened the package, you will be charged a restocking fee to cover the cost of inspecting & repacking the parachute again. This return/restocking/repacking fee will be either 10% of the purchase price, or $50, whichever is greater.   Why is this our policy? Put yourself in the position of the next buyer. How would you feel if you purchased a parachute like this, and we shipped you one which had been repacked ‘recently,’ then shipped to some stranger who you don’t know, then returned by that stranger to us, and then not inspected/repacked again? Wouldn’t you insist that we give the parachute another inspection (which then requires repacking) before shipping it to you? If you purchase this item, you agree to abide by this very reasonable return policy, given that it is a life-saving emergency parachute device. We want every buyer to be 100% confident in the integrity of every emergency parachute that they receive from us, with no exceptions.
