With this, the knot only realizes one third of the
force when the loop is under tension. Without
reducing the extreme tension the knot will shrink
and pull it through the disc.
The three holes have no sharp edges. It is a very
extensive procedure to manufacture this disc, but
loop tearing has reduced to almost zero by using
this product.
Both the loop and disc together as a system has cer-
tainly made skydiving significantly safer during the
last two decades. Totally separate from CYPRES.
Since the system was introduced to the scene in
1992, approx. 1,010,000 discs and well above
4,000,000 loops have been manufactured by Airtec
and given to rig manufacturers, riggers, and pack-
ers worldwide to improve safety in the sport.
Nowadays it‘s unlikely to find a rig worldwide,
with a reserve container that is not closed by the
CYPRES Closing Loop System.
In addition to making its technical effect inside
the reserve container, this CYPRES Loop System
has another advantage. It reduces the necessary
pull force on the reserve ripcord handle by up to
50%. A huge help for all those skydivers who, for
one reason or another, have difficulties with the
pull force.

Take a look at your reserve container; it will most
likely be there.
