ABSTRACT:
A slider constructed of fabric is removably connected between the load suspension lines of a gliding parachute. During deployment of the parachute the slider moves longitudinally down the suspension lines to gradually restrain their transverse spreading. This slows down the inflation of the parachute and prevents dangerous explosive openings thereof. The slider is thereafter removed from the suspension lines in flight by pulling downward on a pair of handles to release tear away connectors. This reduces drag and makes the gliding action of the parachute quieter and more efficient.
