The caribiner laterh could remain open
Mammut Sports Group has issued a nationwide recall for three of its popular climbing safety products due to a critical flaw in the carabiner system that could lead to serious injury or death.
The recall involves approximately 580 units of the Skywalker Pro Via Ferrata Sets, Skywalker Pro Turn Via Ferrata Sets, and Skywalker Pro Via Ferrata Packages, as well as an additional 42 units sold in Canada. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the carabiners on these sets can open without engaging the safety latch, posing a significant fall hazard to climbers.
