I contacted the Icarus Support team and hey told me to check the load tape at the bridal attachment point in the center cell, no luck there.

Hey folks, I’m in possession of what I believe to be a Safire 1 179. The warning label is totally torn and there is no serial number on the center cell. I bought it off Facebook about a year ago for dirt cheap and the lines are in desperate need of replacing. I have no idea how many jumps are on it, judging by the condition of the lines... a lot. One of the B stabilizer attachment lines blew today, and it would be only a matter of time before the brake lines went. I’m looking to purchase a line set but am at a total loss as Icarus needs a serial number before they will send me new lines, I got ahold of a master rigger with the trim charts and I’m not positive it’s even a 179. Am I hosed here? Or is there some way to at least determine the size of this canopy? Much appreciated, Step-Thru

Argus is pretty safe, some drop zones banned them because of misfires. However there was an instance where vigil failed to put cutters in 1000 devices. It appears to have been a case of: Argus fucked something up, it's competitors jumped up to demonize them and run them out of business, despite them having issues as well.
