Robot parachute opens at set height in test jump
Terence Willans, 35, ex paratrooper, made a two mile delayed jump in a field test of a new robot parachute by Irving Airchute Company. The system uses a barometer and clockwork to open at a pre set altitude, here 5000 feet, to prevent loss of consciousness at high altitude. Willans previously completed more than 100 jumps and bailed out from a Dakota at Stanstead Airdrome.
