ABSTRACT:
The device comprises a first gripping band of the Velcro type which is secured to a first of the parachute pack flaps and engages a second gripping band of the Velcro type secured to a second pack flap opposite the first flap. The pack is opened by an opening control device which is connected through a flexible connecting element to an edge of the second gripping band in such manner that a pull on the opening control device causes the second gripping band to be disengaged by peeling off from the first gripping band in starting from the edge. In an alternative arrangement, the first and second gripping bands are interconnected not directly but by an independent gripping band which is disengaged by peeling off from the first and second gripping bands for opening the pack. The opening control device may be an automatic pack opening strap coiled on the pack.
