IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Inspection required for Ozone hook knives (Forza 2 and accessory sales)

We have been made aware of a potential safety issue affecting some hook knives supplied by Ozone with the Forza 2 harness, as well as knives sold separately as accessories. In at least one reported case, a hook knife failed to cut a paraglider line during testing.

All pilots who carry or rely on an Ozone hook knife must immediately check that their knife functions correctly.

Safety Check

  • Take a spare piece of paraglider line with a strength value > 50kg.
  • Apply firm tension to the line.
  • Attempt to cut the line using your hook knife.

Results

If the knife cuts the line easily and cleanly and remains visually unblemished: No further action is required.

If the knife fails to cut the line, struggles to cut, or the blade becomes damaged during the attempt: The knife should be replaced immediately. Please contact your local Ozone dealer.
