Isto me parece preocupante pois varios dos problemas parecem ser
devidos aa fabricacao e/ou projeto dos paraquedas. Como n=F3s mortais
podemos saber se estamos comprando um paraquedas que realmente =

funciona? Existe algum tipo de homologacao para paraquedas reserva?

Por outro lado, pelo que eu entendi, estas estatisticas foram feitas

dinheiro com isso? Serao entao estas estatisticas confiaveis ou somente =

a alma do negocio deles?

   Abracos,
