   Description: Initial reports indicate he blacked out during a skysurfing jump, and had no handles pulled at impact. He was using his own rig, with the CYPRES switched on. It is likely he "redded-out" due to high G's during a skysurfing spin. He was reported to impact while in a very fast flat spin. One foot was found out of the binding, though this may have been due to impact. It is unclear if he cutaway the board at any time. He was very current, and was a regular skysurfing competitor. He had been experimenting with alternative angle placements of his back foot, in particular, with it facing outwards rather than foreward.
   Lessons:This is the first CYPRES failure (false negative) of which I am aware, save one when the batteries were past being due to be changed. Further examination of the unit may provide other information. One theory is that he managed to spin on his side fast enough to generate enough lift to be falling slow enough to be below minimum CYPRES firing speeds; this seems somewhat improbable, though.
