Overall a good canopy, I think it's comparable to a saber 2 but I haven't jump a saber 2 before so don't take my word for it. The openings are nice soft and on heading, though some people complain that it's never on heading which might be do to packing or body position but I never had a problem with it. Oh and the HMA lines that are on it last about 500-650 jumps or so but the only bad thing is that they don't stretch or get out of trim when you need to get a new line set they just break. -
anybody got word about a new icarus canopy!?

Maybe they are/were in the final stages of testing and figured they would test one with an rds. -

looks like an RDS, doesnt it!? Indeed it is, but you still have to put the slider on correctly for it to work properly, other wise you end up with what happened to the jumper in the video. -

Looks like someone put their slider on wrong.
