In skydiving, the slider plays a critical role in slowing down the canopy’s opening to prevent hard openings that can cause discomfort or injury. The JYRO Sport Slider (not RDS) achieves this by spreading the canopy lines apart, creating drag and controlling the canopy’s inflation rate. This slider’s unique design distributes the drag force evenly and gradually. As the canopy deploys, it opens smoothly with minimal line twisting. This controlled approach helps maintain the integrity of your lines and canopy fabric over time, resulting in longer gear life. Moreover, since it is not an RDS system, it avoids the quick, aggressive deployment typical of RDS sliders. This is especially beneficial for pilots flying sport canopies who prefer measured, controlled openings. Benefits of Using the JYRO Sport Slider (not RDS) 1. Improved Canopy Handling The slider ensures that your canopy opens consistently, reducing surprises during deployment. This enhances your ability to steer precisely, especially under challenging wind conditions. 2. Increased Gear Longevity By preventing harsh openings and line twists, the slider reduces wear on your lines and canopy, minimizing repair costs and downtime. 3. Enhanced Safety A smoother opening decreases the risk of hard openings, which can stress the canopy and pilot alike. This translates into safer, more enjoyable jumps. 4. User Comfort Gradual inflation means less shock on the body, improving comfort especially on repeated jumps during long sessions or competitions. Who Should Use the JYRO Sport Slider (not RDS)? The JYRO Sport Slider (not RDS) is perfect for: Sport Canopy Pilots: Who prioritize control and smooth openings. Experienced Skydivers: Looking to upgrade from basic sliders. Progression Flyers: Ready to optimize their equipment for performance gains. Safety-Conscious Jumpers: Who want to reduce the risk of line twists and hard openings.
