there have been two incidents involving older paraglider harnesses equipped with CLICK-LOCK buckles (HSi10) in the chest strap.
The buckles had opened unintentionally during flight while they were under load.
The hooks of the metal tongue can wear out through the frequent diagonal load changes the chest strap is subject to.
Finsterwalder calls on all owners of harnesses equipped with CLICK-LOCKs (HSi10) or T-LOCKs in the chest strap to determine their buckles’ previous usage time by checking the routine test date.
