CYPRES II panel. In skydiving, an automatic activation device (AAD) is a dead man's switch consisting of an electronic-pyrotechnic or mechanical device that automatically activates the opening sequence of the main or reserve parachute container when the AAD is falling below a preset altitude and above a preset decent speed.
A main assisted reserve deployment (MARD) system is a skydiving safety device for parachute systems. While there are many variations, the operation and intended outcome for each is the same: open the reserve parachute container and extract the reserve parachute's deployment bag (and parachute) using the jettisoned main canopy.
A pilot chute is a small auxiliary parachute used to deploy the main or reserve parachute. The pilot chute is connected by a bridle to the deployment bag containing the parachute. Pilot chutes are a critical component of all modern skydiving and BASE jumping gear. Pilot chutes are also used as a component of spacecraft such as NASA's Orion. [1]
RSL - Reserve Static Line RSL Shackle, held, and part of RSL shown installed in the container and attached to the main canopy riser RSL ring. A reserve static line, occasionally called a Stevens Lanyard or Stevens Release, is a device that automatically opens the reserve parachute container when the main parachute is cut-away.
It also provides non-MFF personnel with a ram-air parachute that is static-line deployed. [1] The ARAPS’ three accessory systems are at different stages of the acquisition process: The Electronic Automatic Activation Device (EAAD) is used with current and next-generation parachute systems, replacing the Automatic Ripcord Release. EAAD ...

Releasing the cord loop by removing the cable with a tug causes the three-ring system to cascade free and quickly disconnect the riser from the harness. Each ring in the series multiplies the mechanical advantage [ 3 ] of the loop of cord that is held in place by the semi-rigid cable (a Lolon-F or Teflon impregnated plastic coated steel cable ...
3: Skydiver fights for main canopy. Main and reserve canopies assume biplane position (one of two possible positions where both canopies can work together). A malfunction [1] is a partial or total failure of a parachuting device to operate as intended. Malfunctions may require a skydiver to cut away their main parachute and deploy the reserve ...
