"About 1 in 1000 hundred main parachute openings malfunction."

This can't be right. Does anyone know the correct figure? Kent Wang 00:00, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This page is problematic because it defines "parachute" in terms of vertial parachutes for individual people, when the term has a broader meaning as a drag or lift producing device.

Anyone got better stuff?

Aren't the lines connecting the load with the canopy called shroud lines? Leonard G. 05:24, 4 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]


A parachute is also a smoking device commonly used for cannabis...AKA 'lung', it is based on the principle of using a sealed plastic bag to draw smoke into an airtight bottle, by pulling the bag away from the bottle it is attached to. Smoke is pulled in through the neck of the bottle, the only open area of the device. The cap of the bottle is then removed, and the smoke is inhaled by the user, causing the bag to be pulled back inside the bottle.
