A redundant clustered parachute apparatus includes a harness and a plurality of lines operatively coupled to the harness. Each line has a length and a plurality of canopies coupled to and along the length. The plurality of canopies, across the plurality of lines, create an aggregated force of air resistance to slow a falling object in the harness. Loss of some of the canopies or some of the lines does not significantly affect the performance of the redundant clustered parachute apparatus to safely deliver the object to the ground.
