ABSTRACT:
A device, system and method of reserve parachute deployment comprised of a body with a top and bottom end, a hook-slot and releasable means of attachment in communication with the hook-slot. The system and method disclose additional components and an operation of the system such that upon cutting-away a malfunctioned main parachute, the invention allows the main parachute to be the anchor in the sky to deploy the reserve parachute with no further input from the operator, while if the reserve parachute is activated without cutting-away a main parachute, the invention allows the reserve pilot chute to deploy in the convention manner with no further input from the operator.
