2.4 Speed CYPRES

The Speed CYPRES can be recognized by the

red button with the white imprint „Speed“ on the

control unit.

It will activate the release unit when it detects a rate

of descent higher than approx. 102 mph (approx. 46

m/s) at an altitude below approx. 750 feet (approx.

225 meters) above ground level. Unlike the Expert

CYPRES, the Speed CYPRES ceases operation

below approx. 330 feet (approx. 100 meters) above

ground level.

The Speed CYPRES is designed to allow extreme

canopy piloting. The high activation speed plus the

feature that the unit ceases operation below 330 feet

are tailored for this discipline.

The Speed CYPRES is designed to activate reliably

in all „regular“ free fall situations (without special

equipment or pilot chute) when no canopy is out.

Although the 35 m/s (78 mph) vertical speed re-

quired for an Expert CYPRES to activate had not

been reached under canopy for decades, nowadays

an increasing number of skydivers try and manage

to exceed that speed using low turns and small

canopies.

The number of fatalities involving fully open para-

chutes show that these actions truly enhance the risk

of skydiving dramatically.

Please take all these facts into consideration and use

common sense before making a choice.

For some activities, the Speed CYPRES may not be

suitable.

For instance, already the Expert CYPRES

might not activate during a wing suit jump because the

vertical speed can be too low, and there is even less

chance that a Speed CYPRES will activate. Speed

CYPRES should activate under an open main if the

vertical speed is pushed above 46 m/s near or below

the activation altitude. In case you exceed this vertical

speed, then have your Speed CYPRES switched off.
