| Gin Gliders has issued a safety notice regarding the Genie Race 5 harness.
The reason is a potential problem with the deployment of the reserve parachute. This is a high-priority safety issue. The affected harnesses must be inspected before the next flight.
In some cases, a seam on the reserve handle may loosen or come apart. If this happens, the cord could slip and become caught around the safety pin when the reserve handle is pulled. In the worst-case scenario, this could prevent or delay the deployment of the reserve parachute. GIN Gliders Safety Notice
