ABSTRACT:
The deployment system includes a pilot chute and a bridle wherein the bridle is secured at one end to the forward portion of a parachute canopy. The bridle extends through a rear portion of the canopy. Prior to deployment, the deployment bag is packed such that the forward and rear portions of the canopy lie closely adjacent one another to fully extend the bridle pilot chute from the main canopy. Upon deployment, relative front-to-back opening forces of the parachute displace the front and rear portions of the parachute away from one another thereby drawing the bridle within the canopy and the pilot chute into a closely snugged location to the canopy.
