cengelbrecht 0 #2 December 27, 2005 Sorry indradhanush, not enough details in your post to judge/evaluate the reliability of Cypres, which has been proven already by _millions_ of jumps, even under very critical conditions (north pole, HALO, ...). Before you tend to personally bann CYPRES by one incident (the skmaster, not Adrian's), for which you have incomplete information only, please reconsider your statement again. The loss of Adrian is sad enough. It shouldn't lead us to a loss of safety we gladly achieved. The very, very few canopy pilots, who can exceed regular CYPRES limitations, are well aware of the situation now and Airtec is working on the special swoop edition. So, please, no generalization of this incident towards the abdication of the use of an AAD. Best personal regards Carsten Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
