SEDONA, AZ (AZFamily) — Two people were unharmed after a plane crash-landed in northern Arizona on Monday morning.

At about 8:30 a.m., Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to a reported plane crash near Cathedral Rock in Sedona. There, they found a husband and wife who were able to walk away from the aircraft without injury.

Authorities say the couple was unharmed because they deployed their “ Cirrus CAPS System ,” which is a large ballistic rocket-fired parachute attached to the plane. The system helped crash-land the plane at a slower speed.

The parachute system, called the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System, had saved 139 planes with 281 survivors in aircraft as of Sept. 17, according to the Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association .
