Parachute de secours Karré
Parachute de secours Karré
Square rescue parachutes are now the standard in free flight!
Their advantages over traditional round models are indisputable:
– very short opening time
– high pendular stability
– low sink rate
The larger surface area for an equivalent size brings an added feeling of safety.
Stability
The Karré design yields increased stability compared to a conventional hemispheric.
Specific Pod
The pod's design and the rescue's low compression inside the pod improves extraction speed, especially with a rescue pocket in the harnesses
Improved sink rate
The horizontal speed of the Karre allows it to develop lift which greatly improves the sink rate performance
Directable
Due to its horizontal speed, the Karre is directable, adding an additional level of safety by avoiding obstacles
Pod for frontal mount
More compact pod for use in frontal position
Riser protection
Protects the risers from UV in case of an assembling them in the open air, as in the tandem.
