If the harness is not in use for a long time, the back 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. If you find any damage or if you are in any
doubt make sure the harness is checked by a professional or ask us.
The karabiners must be replaced according 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).
For 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 back protector, pay particular attention to all of the stitching, to the outer material, and the thickness. The
protector should not remain squashed or deformed.
Any damaged parts should be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer. Any repairs performed by anyone other
than the manufacturer will deem the harness uncertified. Spare parts can be ordered from your BGD dealer.
The Environment and Recycling
We all have a responsibility to look after the environment and protect the places in which we fly. Please enjoy
our sport in a way that is respectful of the natural environment we practise it in. This includes keeping to marked
footpaths, not leaving litter, and not making unnecessary loud noises that could disturb wildlife.
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.
