  • Patent number: 5398891
    Abstract: An apparatus for the opening of skydiver's parachute by another skydiver, instantaneously and without physical contact between them, is provided. The device provides a skydiver with the means of generating radio frequency signals, and provides a second skydiver with the means to process those signals and trigger a parachute opening mechanism that opens the parachute of the second skydiver. This invention provides the ability for a more experienced skydiver such as an instructor, to open the parachute of a lesser experienced skydiver, such as a student. In addition, this device can also be used in the activation of a parachute opening mechanism that it attached to any entity accompanying a skydiver in freefall.
