Cypres is an AAD (automatic activation device) cypres is a specific product, it is currently the most trusted, there is a new one out called the Vigil and there are a few older ones.
In simple terms an AAD is an altimeter and a small cutter designed to cut the closing loop(might be wrong term) of your reserve, which will have the same effect as pulling the pin. the altimeter detects a fall rate and an altitude above ground (based on where you started climbing) if you go too fast as you are too low, and everything works, it will open your reserve for you. Its a very expensive BACK UP. (and in no way physically similar to a helmet)

The trouble with skydiving; If you stink at it and continue to jump, you'll die. If you're good at it and continue to jump, you'll see a lot of friends die...
