Graphic design help

soc_puppetHello, everyone! I'm looking for some help offering feedback on a visual design.
Backstory: I was looking around the website of a convention I used to staff, and discovered that they were using a different graphic than I expected in the Accessibility Policy section of their website. Instead of the graphic I expected, they were using one based on the old, visually unsafe version of the Disability Pride flag from 2019; the one with the lightning bolts that triggered a lot of photo-sensitivity issues for people.
I reached out to the current Accessibility team as soon as I saw it to let them know about the problem, and the graphic design person got to work on a redesign right away; she just contacted me today to let me know that she's updated it.
The problem is, she wasn't interested in using the colors or design from the updated, visually safe Disability Pride flag, and I don't know enough to be able to say whether the current design is safe or not. The zigzag and black lines between colors are gone, but I don't know if that's enough. Is there anyone here who might be able to help me figure out if the new design is safe or not?
Thank you very much in advance!
Edit: The design has been confirmed visually unsafe, and I'll be looking into more alternatives I might be able to suggest for design elements. I wouldn't say no to more help, but I'm off to an excellent start. Thank you, everyone!
