The Automatic Activation Device „AAD“ is an automatic electronic safety device. The
m

device continuously checks that the skydiver is not too
close to the ground without an open and functional parachute. It detects a skydiver’s falling speed and altitude. If the
m

assesses the situation
as hazardous for the skydiver, the cutter automatically cuts the closing loop of the reserve parachute, which starts the process of opening the
reserve parachute. It is designed and manufactured based on the latest findings focused on sports skydiving, and its function fully meets the
demands of the current skydiving sport.
Professional designers, who are also excellent skydivers, have contributed to its development. The device is available in
