The three-ring system is simple, inexpensive, reliable, and requires fewer operations than earlier parachute release systems while reducing the physical force needed. The large bottom ring is securely attached to the skydiver's harness, the middle ring is securely attached to the end of the parachute riser, and the small ring is securely ...
RSL - Reserve Static Line RSL Shackle, held, and part of RSL shown installed in the container and attached to the main canopy riser RSL ring. A reserve static line, occasionally called a Stevens Lanyard or Stevens Release, is a device that automatically opens the reserve parachute container when the main parachute is cut-away.
The static line and D-Bag stay with the aircraft as the jumper leaves, and are pulled back into the aircraft by the dispatcher. Now free of its D-Bag, the canopy is allowed to inflate as the jumper continues to fall. Effectively, the jumper drags the parachute behind him, causing the upward-rushing wind to force open and inflate the canopy.
A main assisted reserve deployment (MARD) system is a skydiving safety device for parachute systems. While there are many variations, the operation and intended outcome for each is the same: open the reserve parachute container and extract the reserve parachute's deployment bag (and parachute) using the jettisoned main canopy.
For example, a reserve parachute must be packed by a certified specialist and be used within a specific number of days, based on its material. That said, federal officials don’t track or license ...
Cut-away is a skydiving term referring to disconnecting the main parachute from the harness-container in case of a malfunction in preparation for opening the reserve parachute. The 3-ring release system on parachutes allows a rapid cut-away in the event of an emergency. Cutaway is also the title of a 2000 action film about skydiving.
The T-10D Parachute is made of nylon materials commonly used in the manufacturing of parachutes. The Modified Improved Reserve Parachute System (MIRPS) includes a standard T-10 reserve parachute canopy assembly, integrated with a commercial deployment assistance device composed of a bridle line, pilot parachute, and spring. The pack tray ...
The suit alleges that the parachute’s handle creates a “sail shape” that causes the ripcord to release and the parachute to “inadvertently” activate and that testing of the parachutes ...
