10. Repacking of the reserves
You should denitely take advantage of the
CYPRES closing loop and disc system.
Previous closing loops - made by old suspension
lines or Kevlar or Darcron or Spectra or Optima
- were thick and not very slippery and not very
exible.
On container openings, when circumstances are
unfortunate, these loops can be squeezed between
the grommets.
That may cause a delay of the opening or even
avoid the opening at all for some seconds.
Fatalities did happen because of that.
Airtec has improved the closing loop system.
