The patent proposes a simple technique for achieving near-optimum parachute canopy deployment without the need for additional equipment by bundling together the suspension lines and forming therein a series of gradually releasable daisy-chain slip knots. The daisy-chained suspension lines are connected to the canopy skirt by means of a releasable locking device which enables the suspension lines gradually to unravel in a taut condition until the skirt is released by the locking device enabling the drag-producing surface fully to inflate.
