Still knot write - it's CYPRES (uppercase because it's an acronym) it would be even more correct in my opinion if written CyPReS and as I saw somewhere on a tshirt, only we are aloud to call ourselves riggers.

Liemberg 0 #36 March 17, 2011 Still wondering if Virgil remembered to turn on his Cyprus... In Holland students EP's are reviewed on a regular basis, using a suspended harness. However, they call that test - to be signed of in the student's logbook - a 'Harnastest'. 'Harnas' translated back to English means (mediaeval) body armour... "Once you know how to land a parachute, you probably can do it without the complete body armour - much better for your wingload also..." All joking aside - Though it may be news to a lot of Americans here, this is an international forum so I expect non native English speaking participants (like myself) to make occasional mistakes. Therefore I expect everybody to live with that fact and try to decipher misspelled words from the context; after all, humans are supposed to be good at that. Recently on Twitter: "Why don't you text me anymore?" "I don't know. Mayb b3cuz yhu t3x+ lik di$" See - you understood that.
