The Day CYPRES Saved My Life: Veikko "Wexi" Skurnik

A few weeks ago, Wexi Skurnik’s ho-hum, totally-normal wingsuit solo turned into a wingsuit oh-no very quickly. Thanks to his CYPRES 2, he survived to tell the tale -- and he was happy to do so. Here’s Wexi’s CYPRES save story, in his own words. Chase the light, kids!

That's why we have them. Don't leave home (or the plane) without one !

Had my own save by a Cypres back in 2015. I thought my opening was low! Fantastic product

Lucky man

What was the malfunction?

[@lanthanumlanthanium6373]

Looks like he was flat spinning and tried to roll out which caused him to descend much quicker since the glide ratio can make the altitude awareness an issue.

That one was scary. You guys do gods work. Good job

Had my Cypres fire off @ 1,400ft AGL, while main canopy was still deploying…Scared the “ba-Jesus” outta me, but my training kicked in & cut-away main to fly reserve to the ground! Always make sure you check your calibration on those things…It was an extremely humid day & a “newb” in our group caused me to have to deploy much lower than usual to avoid him!! 🪂
