Can`t get this one! "Official statement: How to deploy a parachute" (5,7) P ? D ? S and ? E ? E ? S ?.
It may be Latin ! Mags.

Hi mags
Check the D in the first word (though I don't think the second of the double definitions is quite right!)

Hi Chris. The `d` is the one I`m most sure of. it`s in the clue "Includes hard sedimentary rock" = shard.
I thought it may be Latin because I can`t think of an English word P ? D ? S. I`ll try Crossword Solver.
Thank you for answering so quickly. mags.

OK mags - not sure about that one, but I'm fairly confident that the other is PRESS RELEASE

Is that the full clue for the other?

shale?

I had 'shale' for that one, mags

and 'press release' for the other , as Chris said.

...........though "isn't "pull the ripcord" more accurate?

No, Chris, it wasn't the full clue : that was " disposal includes hard sedimentary rock (5)
