If the harness is not used for a long time, the protector should not be stored compressed.
Inspection
For safety, routine inspections of all of your equipment is vitally important. Bruce Goldsmith Design recommends a
service interval of 24 months in addition to the usual pre-flight checks.
The karabiners must be replaced according to the karabiner manufacturer’s instructions, and at least every 5 years.
The karabiners should never be used for anything other than paragliding (eg. climbing, towing, etc).
On inspection, visually check the stitching, webbing and all structurally important areas. Pay particular attention to
the webbing around the hangpoint area under the karabiner, as this is where abrasion is most likely.
For the protector, pay particular attention to all of the stitching, the outer material, and the thickness (for the foam
protector). The foam protector should not remain squashed or deformed.
If you find any damage or if you are in any doubt make sure the harness is checked by a professional.
Any damaged parts should be repaired or replaced. Spare parts (protectors, karabiners, release handle and reserve
Y-bridle) can be rordered from your BGD dealer.
Recycling
We all have a responsibility to look after the environment and protect the places in which we fly. When the harness
comes to the end of its useful life, remove all the metal parts and dispose of the rest in an appropriate recycling
facility.
