CYPRES 2 User’s Guide
- english version -
Congratulations on your choice of CYPRES, the
safest and most accurate AAD currently available.
Like most skydivers, you probably assume you will
always have time to deploy your reserve canopy
yourself, and that situations requiring the use of
an automatic activation device always happen
to others. We do hope you will never have such
trouble, and that your CYPRES will never have to
try to save your life.
Should CYPRES ever decide to cut your reserve
closing loop, it will most likely happen at a moment
which, no matter how experienced and cautious
you are, justies that you haven‘t left your safety
to chance.
