tso-d_chris 0 #2 November 25, 2005 IIRC there was at least one CYPRES save on Antarctica a few years back. I don't think the CYPRES2 will have a problem with England. Go skydive. For Great Deals on Gear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #5 November 25, 2005 If you stored your parachute in a heated hangar and flew in a warm airplane, container fabric should insulate Cypres batteries (for a short flight) so that they never get chilled below -20 celcius. Also keep in mind that the first Cypres failure occurred on a cold day in Holland. Cypres batteries were 3.5 years old and had enough energy to do the start-up routine, but got chilled so badly that they did not have enough voltage to (think?) or cut. The Dutch accident just proves the theory that you have to make two or more mistakes on your way to the scene of the accident. Breaking that chain of mistakes anywhere (i.e replace Cypres batteries according to the manufacturer's schedule) can prevent an accident. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
