Prevent crashes when subclassing PFUser - ios

Question

We have an App in production and received some EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS crashes, when accessing a new variable inside User (a subclass of PFUser).
class User : PFUser {
#NSManaged var name: String!
#NSManaged var age: Int
...
var newVariable: Int = 0
}
Since Parse caches PFUser, the cached version of currentUser (from the previous version) does not contain newVariable. After calling .fetch() on User.currentUser() the App stops crashing.
Here's the crash log:
