BD Vision Harness Recall

Another tremendous L for black diamond.

I think I remember a post about a BD harness failure recently but couldn't find the thread.

I remember the harness thread as well. I can’t recall if it was a vision harness or not but I do remember it was a BD harness, and the failure mode was pretty strange looking. My guess is it got taken down by MP admins and BD. But maybe someone else can prove us wrong and I’m just having a hard time finding it.

The thread is still there and has been updated to reflect the recall.

Not everything is a conspiracy, man. Sometimes you just can't find something that was right there the whole time.

Thanks for sharing the thread. I checked the gear and general forums, but not the injuries forum.

Another day, another recall from BD in my email inbox

It would be interesting to see the #units sold/in use:# recalls ratios between the major manufacturers. It does seem that BD is achieving an early 2000s OP level of recall status, but maybe it's right on par with other makers

The fact that they just copy and pasted their avalanche transceiver recall form has me rolling
