14. Disclaimer
In designing and manufacturing CYPRES, the aim
of Airtec GmbH is that the device should never
cause an accidental canopy opening, but should
initiate the opening sequence of a reserve canopy
at an appropriate altitude when the activation cri-
teria are met.
All investigations and experiments performed dur-
ing the product‘s development, and all laboratory
and eld tests accompanying trial and production
phases have shown to date that CYPRES meets
both requirements.
However, the occurrence of a malfunction can-
not be excluded. We accept no responsibility for
damages and consequences resulting from any
malfunction.
Airtec GmbH also accepts no responsibility for
damages or problems which are caused by the use
of non original Airtec parts and supplies.
The use of CYPRES does not automatically pre-
vent injury or death. Risk can be reduced by as-
suring that each component has been installed in
strict compliance with the manufacturer‘s instruc-
tions, by obtaining proper instruction in the use of
this system, and by operating each component of
the system in strict compliance with this User‘s
Guide.
Automatic activation devices (AADs) sometimes
fail to operate properly, and sometimes activate
when they should not, even when properly installed
and operated. Therefore the user risks serious in-
jury or even death to themselves and others during
each use.
By using or allowing others to use CYPRES, you
acknowledge that you accept responsibility for the
proper use of the device, as well as accepting the
consequences of any and all use of this device.
Airtec GmbH, their Dealers, Service Centers, and
Agents total and complete responsibility is lim-
ited to the repair or replacement of any defective
device.
CYPRES is strictly a backup device, and is not in-
tended to replace proper training or timely execu-
tion of appropriate emergency procedures.
