Product Description
The access harness is designed to be as accessible as possible to users who need extra support than
offered by standard harnesses. The user sits in the harness once it has been fitted to them. The user
can then walk around or remain seated while using the harness. The harness has two attachment
points at the front. The user is secured in the harness by a waist strap, a chest strap and leg loops.
Product Scope of Use
The scope of the use of the harness is recreational. The harness maintains the static load of the user
(similar definition to 'work positioning'). No dynamic loads are applied to the harness.
Conformity Standards/Specifications
The harness has been tested to the relevant sections of EN1651: 1999 Paragliding equipment –
harnesses – safety requirements and strength test.
