Die bisher im Flugsport verwendeten Karabiner sind Entwicklungen von Bergsportausrüstern. Im Bergsport und im Bereich der Sicherheitstechnik sind für den Karabiner hauptsächlichst hohe Bruchlasten erforderlich.
Für die im Flugsport auftretende permanente Schwingungsbelastung im Bereich des Schnapperspiels sind Bergsport-Karabiner nicht ausgelegt.
Es ist im normalen Flugbetrieb deshalb bereits mehrfach zu Brüchen infolge von Materialermüdung gekommen. Typisch ist der Fall in Tschechien. Näheres dazu » hier!
Die von Finsterwalder & Charly entwickelten Karabiner sind speziell für den Flugsport entwickelt worden.

Since 1993, we have been developing carabiners specially made for air sports and helicopter air rescue.
These carabiners are particularly designed to withstand the permanent oscillating loads in flight, which in the long run can lead to material fatigue in conventional carabiners.

PARALOCK separation carabiner
Lightweight paragliding carabiner with convenient handling and long replacement interval for mono and tandem use
With a conventional paragliding carabiner, separation under load is hardly possible. However, in certain situations this can not only be useful but even life-saving - e.g. when landing in moving water or in strong winds.
Also after an emergency parachute deployment, it may be necessary and in any case recommended to disconnect the paraglider. The Paralock eliminates the need to carry a line cutter or to pull in the paraglider which costs valuable time.
The Paralock's separation function is also useful in other sports, for air and water rescue, and in parachute harnesses.
is to be unlocked.
