ABSTRACT:
A skier's drag chute and system for deploying the chute. The apparatus comprises a chute portion that has leg straps in connection with the user's legs and wrist straps for attachment to the user's wrists. A shoulder attachment may be secured around the neck or shoulder of the user in order to secure the top edge of the chute to the user and prevent air from forming under the chute. The chute portion has curvilinear edges along the top and bottom edges of the chute. The chute remains in resting position on the back of the skier until the skier decides on slowing down. The skier extends his arms allowing the chute to deploy and thus slow the speed of the skier.
