On a Sup Air paraglider harness it has been noted that the sharp edges
of the carbon seat board have damaged the harness leg straps (picture 1.)

Together with the manufacturers representative, the DHV and
Aerosport International GmbH issue the following safety warning: before
any Sup Air harness with a carbon seat board is used again, the pilot
must check for damage to the harness leg straps (see pictures 2 and 3).

Should damage to the straps be visible, then the harness must not be
further used. Damaged harnesses should be sent back to Aerosport
International GmbH for repair. Even if no damage is visible, the carbon
seat board must nevertheless be fitted with a protective rail. This may
be performed by the pilot, an Aerosport dealer (school) or Aerosport
International GmbH. Aerosport will send all pilots the necessary
materials and installation instructions free of charge on request.
