Malfunction: A malfunction can easily injure or kill
you or others.
Every technical device can fail. So everything
imaginable can happen with the CYPRES, including,
but not limited to: displaying a status which is not true,
failing to function, or functioning at a wrong moment or
at a wrong occasion.
If you or your friends or family are not willing to accept
these uncertainties and risks, then you must not use
CYPRES.
An inappropriate activation altitude is likely to
injure or kill you or others.
Always use this unit set at the appropriate activation
altitude. Never, under any circumstances and for any
reason at an inappropriate activation altitude.
Higher / lower activation altitude:
The higher the
CYPRES activation altitude, the more likely that a two-
canopy out scenario will occur if your main canopy
is deployed low. The lower the CYPRES activation
altitude, the greater the possibility of your reserve not
being fully inflated at a sufficient altitude.
Both secenarios can cause injury or death.
Making a decision:
The decision to increase the
activation altitude, and by how much, is the user’s
choice and decision, and may be taken in consultation
with the reserve & main canopy and harness/container
manufacturers.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Opening altitude:
Always plan your main container
opening altitude and skydive to have your main canopy
functionally open (fully open, flying, controllable, even
landable) a minimum of 1000 ft. above your CYPRES
activation altitude. For example, if your CYPRES
activation altitude is 750 ft above ground level then your
minimum functionally open altitude is 1,750 ft. above
ground level; if your CYPRES activation altitude is 850
ft. above ground level then your minimum functionally
open altitude is 1,850 ft. above ground level, etc.
Take into consideration your altitude loss during main
canopy deployment (opening characteristics of main
canopy, main container opening characteristics, type of
skydive, reaction time, etc.)
