Speed CYPRES 2
Cypres Products
The Speed CYPRES 2 has the highest activation speed of any CYPRES model; 102mph (46m/s) at a default altitude of 750 ft (225m) AGL, and is designed specifically to allow for extreme canopy piloting. The high activation speed plus the feature that ceases operation below 330 ft are tailored for this discipline.

Product Description
The Speed CYPRES is designed to activate reliably in all “regular” freefall situations (without special equipment or pilot chute) when no canopy is out. For some activities the Speed CYPRES may not be suitable!!
Already the Expert CYPRES may not activate during a wingsuit jump because the vertical speed can be too low; there is even less of a chance that the Speed CYPRES will activate on a wingsuit emergency situation. Although for decades, the original 78mph (35m/s) speed needed to activate the Expert CYPRES had not been achieved under a fully inflated canopy, today there are an increasing number of canopy pilots that can reach these speeds on every jump (performing high speed landing approaches). So, their choice will be the Speed CYPRES to avoid an unwanted reserve deployment during their landing approach.
However, the Speed CYPRES will activate under an open main if the vertical speed is pushed at or above 102mph (46m/s), close to or below the activation altitude and above 330 ft. In case you exceed this vertical speed, then the Speed CYPRES should be switched off.
The number of fatalities involving fully open parachutes show that these actions enhance the risk of skydiving dramatically. Please take all of this into consideration before making your choice.
