A multi-staged suspension line length parachute 100 comprises a canopy 110, a suspension line 120, a bundle130, a bundling confluence 140, a traditional confluence 150 and a riser 160. Suspension lines comprise a primary length 121 resulting from a first stage of parachute deployment and a secondary length 122 from a second stage of parachute deployment. The parachute includes a cutter 180 and a cutter pin puller 190 configured to activate the cutter. The bundle also includes a bundling line configured to secure secondary length from the suspension line. The parachute may deploy to a first length in response to tension on the cutter pin puller, the cutter may activate to sever the bundling line in the bundle, causing the secondary length of the suspension line to release. The parachute may then deploy to a second length.
