On several paraglider harnesses for tandem pilots of the
type Sup’Air Bi-Evasion (Tandemharness with trapez-shape seat board)
with internal parachute container on the back, it was discovered, that
the rescue parachute can be deployed only with increased force. Reason
is that the harness and the rescue parachute donut fit together
properly.
Affected can be harnesses where the conformity inspection
has been performed between the 30.12.1999 and
16.08.2001
