h3. Proposal from Wolfgang LINTL (GER)

Write your name and the country you represent.

h3. 06 Life-saving equipment

Write a short title for your proposal here, and with reference to the numbering
of any existing proposals, add the title above where it says *Write a title for your proposal*
For example, if the highest numbered proposal is *03 - some proposal* then make
yours *04 - your proposal title*. This then orders the list correctly.

h3. Existing text

Annex 7, 2.2  If the race is above water, life-saving equipment (flotation device) is mandatory.

h3. New text

{panel}
2.2  If the race is above water, life-saving equipment (flotation device) is mandatory.
{color:#ff0000}This equipment should be designed to carry the weight of the pilot and the equipment.{color}

{color:#ff6600}It is recommended that the buoyancy device should be fitted to the paramotor rather than worn by the pilot.{color}

{panel}

h3. Reason

It is more or less self-explaining, that the device should be able to carry the whole weight. Due to the right balance in water, it should be fitted to the equipment rather than to the pilot.
