During a test flight the release handle of a paraglider harness
with integrated emergency equipment 
container ripped out of the connection strap. 

The company VONBLON used this handle for the Liga Integral
and Zeta harnesses. 

Therefore all harnesses of this pattern are affected. 

In agreement with the producer VONBLON and the 
German company Swing, the DHV has therefore, as a precaution, 
reached the following safety measures: 

The handle of all the paraglider harnesses refered to above 
must be checked and if necessary reworked. 

This airworthiness instruction comes into force when 
published in the News for Paragliders and Hang Gliders (NfGH). 

The safety measures must be carried out before the next usage. 

The checking and reworking will be carried out by the
Austrian production and development company
