All this aad/cypres arguing is crap. First off parachutist had 2(count em TWO) student deaths listed in a row that had fxc 12000 that failed to do their job. Cypres works end of story. Anyone claiming to have a misfire has been proven wrong by airtec. (check PIA's website for the tech stuff). Put a cypres in your rig. If you dont need it, its not there. If you do, guess what....your alive. Whats your life worth to you anyway. And this crap about getting slammed if you cant steer your reserve, any a-hole saying that doesnt need a rig cause they think they have a better chance of winning a 120 mph head on with a big ass planet! For people that need to be smart some of us sure are stupid. John the angry skydiver Edited by johnny1488 on 5/8/01 07:52 PM.
