Sup’AIR issues security notice on extraction handles
It has been brought to attention that on the Walibi2 and Evasion2 harnesses from Sup’Air, there may be a problem with the reserve handle. Depending on the direction in which the handle is pulled to extract the reserve perachute, the handle can in some circumstances be hard to release from the velcro housing. Sup’Air say that this could prevent the reserve parachute being extacted correctly.
If you have one of these paragliding harnesses and are in any doubt about the above, please make contact with your local dealer.
