6. Main Canopy Release Ripcord. The ram air parachute design features a single-point release that is capable of releasing the main canopy and deploying the reserve in one smooth function. In the event of a main parachute malfunction, the parachutist has only to withdraw the main canopy release ripcord (as shown on the following page). Once withdrawn, the two rings on each riser are released from the base ring, releasing the main canopy. If still attached to the main risers, the reserve static line will withdraw the reserve ripcord pins, deploying the reserve parachute.
