Survive
The pendulum free PDA canopy (Pull Down Apex)–fastest
opening and minimum sink values!The
rescue-chute Skyline SURVIVE was developed for the use with
Paragliders or Hang gliders. The first principle,
constructing this chute, was to develop a rescue device with
less deployment time, low sink rates and high loading
capacity of the canopy. The special packing
system guarantees a fast deployment.
DHV-license
test: The Survive was dropped from a height of 60 meters at
zero acceleration with a weight of 70 kg. After two thirds
of the dropping distance already the rescue chute was fully
deployed. In normal use the deployment will be even faster,
because pilots in most cases throw the chute away from the
body. The comparatively big
area of the canopy (35,8 m²) reduces the sink rate. Because
of the long lines the Survive is much more stable than
normal rescue systems. This also reduces the pendulum effect
and the speed of impact of the pilot is lower.
The construction of the inner
container helps with the fast deployment. A pilot chute is
attached to the container. This ensures that the rescue
chute moves away from the pilot immediately – even if the
container has not been thrown away powerfully. The
container’s four-leaf-system guarantees a fast deployment
and makes packing easy. For using the Survive up to 125 kg
loading weight, it will be fit with SDS
- Shock Damping System
(deceleration is considerably softened).
