  1. I sent a container to Sunpath to have the leg straps replaced on an articulated harness.... the girl slid across the runway and actually tore her leg straps... no other damage was noticed by 2 other riggers including myself... this is what i got from sunpath... inspect...........$ disassemble system components... take out reserve ......$$ (not wanted) replace reserve side flaps plastics (right and left sides) ????? ... $$$ replace harness (chest ring downwards) using new dad (hip rings) and stainless leg adaptors......$$$$ Called about this and rigger inspecting said it was because they found cadmium residue..... WHAT IS THAT??? and why do they have to replace the entire harness...... all we wanted was the leg straps replaced....... why did they need to open the reserve on an articulated harness when all we wanted was the leg straps replaced.... this is the second time i have sent a rig to them and had trumped up charges... the last rig they "had to wash because it smelled like cigarette smoke and they HAD to wash it before they could work on it...... (owner was a smoker)... more $$... So my question... what does cadmium residue do to fabric?.. and if it is bad why is the industry using it? ordinary rigger wants to know?... By the way.. spoke with my DPRE and he want to know as well... just a question The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
