Note sécurité matériel

Le DHV met une note de sécurité concernant les boucles de certaines sellettes
"In the past three months, 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. In one of the cases this happened during a SAT maneuver (spreading of the chest strap due to the pilot resting on the riser), in the other case the reason was presumably the load applied by the body weight of the pilot who was hanging only in the leg straps"...
...If this date indicates a usage time of more than 4 years, the harness is not airworthy for now and may not be used for flying anymore.
Voici voilà pour ceux qui ont ce type de boucles sur leur sellette ... j'en fait parti, ma sellette à déjà plus de huit saisons mais je ne sais pas faire des SAT (pour ce que ça sert !)
Advance a mis une annonce sur son site, d'autres fabricants peut-être ?
