They are also fitted with Vigil® Automatic Activation Devices. The use of such a safety device is compulsory at Skydive Spa; fruit of the most modern technology in computer controlled devices, it ensures the activation of the reserve parachute in case of malfunction of the main one and, by the way, provides you with a maximum of safety.
