The MBA (Mobile Boarding Adapter) passenger boarding adapter has no less than 6 exposed bolts with sharp edges. I walked passed the stationary MBA and snagged my work trousers on one of these bolts causing a 6 inch tear. I was not physically injured but bodily scratches certainly could occur from the sharp edges of the bolt/nut assembly. All MBA's currently in use have these exposed hazards.
