ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system for the extraction and unfolding of the reserve parachute employable both for a ventral and a dorsal configuration. The system provides for the forced extraction of the reserve parachute by the main parachute, and an auxiliary harness to maintain the main parachute connected to the parachutist also after an anomalous situation arises without interference with the reserve parachute. The system also includes an assembly for the forced extraction and unfolding of the reserve parachute in case of a non-opening or failed extraction of the main parachute.
