Safety Notice: Supair reserve handle

31/03/2015: Supair have issued a safety notice regarding extraction problems for the reserve parachute handle of the WALIBI² and EVASION² tandem harnesses, the recommended solution for which is also worth considering if you have long hook and loop fastener strips on your reserve handle system.

Simply blocking off some of the excess hook and loop fastener reduces the gripping force and prevents it from becoming a problem. The bonding can also be overcome by removing the reserve handle and replacing it gently during every Daily Equipment Inspection.
