At one paraglider harness X-citing, MZL GS-03-191-98 of
High Adventure an incorrect, sharp edged belt buckle has damaged the belt ribbon. The
consequence from this is in the most unfavorable case the cut of the belt ribbon and loss
of strenght of the harness-construction. These belt buckles, which have been used only in
the first series have no engraving or stamping of an belt buckle manufacturer (see
figures).
 
In agreement with the manufacturer High
Adventure, Stanserstr. 107 a, CH-6064 Kerns, the DHV has decided on the following
precautionary safety measures:
- At all paraglider harnesses X-citing, MZL GS-03-191-98 of
High Adventure, the belt buckles must be checked.
- Incorrect belt buckles must be maintained by the
manufacturer instructions or exchanged
This
airworthiness instruction comes into force when it is published in the News for
Paragliders and Hang Gliders (NfGH). The precautionary safety measure must be carried out
before the equipment is flown again.
The Check and maintenance or the exchange has to be done by the
manufacturer of the Paraglider harness or the german Distributer Charly Produkte, Am
Osterösch 3, D- 87637 Seeg.
