ABSTRACT:
In the quick-release lock for a parachute, a measuring device (1, 2) is used for continuously measuring the distance of the parachutist from the surface on which he intends to land. In this arrangement, the measured distance values are repeatedly compared with predetermined values in a comparing device (3, 4, 7) during the descent. Only if the measured values agree with the predetermined values during the last section of the descent during, which the comparisons are carried out, is the parachute automatically released from the load, for example a person, when the distance 0 is reached.
