Learn Skydiving: Skydiving Equipment Parts
All the parachute rigs that are used today by skydiving
enthusiasts have six important parts.
The main canopy is just the parachute itself.
The drogue chute is a small parachute that is used by skydivers
to open the main parachute. Skydivers have to throw out the
drogue and when it catches the wind it will pull out the bridle,
a piece of nylon webbing, then the bridle pulls out the main
parachute.
The reserve is also known as the second parachute. This second
parachute is available for the safety of skydivers just in case
the main parachute won't open for any reason.
The container is attached to hold the main parachute and the
second one in a very safety place.
Another important part in any skydiving equipment is the AAD. If
anything wrong happens with the skydivers and they can't open
the parachute, this AAD will automatically do it for them at
about 800 feet.
Ram Air Canopies are the type of parachute that is used these
days by almost all experienced skydivers around the globe. Ram
Air Canopies are square or rectangular made from a material
called lightweight nylon.
This type of parachutes are mostly
used because of the safety they offer to the user. Also, great
control was a thing that made this type of parachutes to be used
so much. Using this type of parachute your landings will be as
precise as possible.
