Operating Limits
Your EPICENE is designed specifically to be used for wingsuit skydiving. When wearing a wingsuit,
vertical speeds and overall airspeeds can be reduced to well below what is a normal deployment
speed in a “slick”, or typical non-wingsuit skydive. The EPICENE has been independently load
tested, is constructed from the highest quality materials currently available, and is built to industry-
standards for main parachute systems; however it is not designed to be opened at speeds far
above which are typical during a properly executed freefall deployment. The recommended
maximum opening speed is 100 KEAS (Knots, Equivalent Air Speed) at Sea Level.
The maximum opening speed is 120 KEAS. Always respect the maximum opening speeds and the
operational limitations of your equipment. Failure to do so, by exceeding the placarded opening
speeds or maximum weights may result in serious injury, equipment failure, or death.
As with any parachute system: Even when well below the maximum opening speed, equipment
failure, serious injury, or death may occur as a result of improper or imperfect packing, improper or
imperfect body position, or improper or imperfect gear configuration. And finally, to hammer home
the point that skydiving is always dangerous, even if you do everything perfectly and properly
you can still be seriously injured, or die. That is the nature of skydiving and parachuting. Always
remember that each and every jump is potentially fatal, and constant vigilance is mandatory. You
are the person most responsible for your safety.
