A system and method for resisting an uncontrolled descent or uncontrolled flight condition of an aerial vehicle. The system includes a control system, sensors, an inflation device, and a deployable, inflatable assembly. The control system detects an uncontrolled condition using the sensors, and subsequently initiates the inflation device to inflate the inflatable assembly. The assembly includes an inflatable cage stored on and deployed from the aerial vehicle upon detection of an uncontrolled condition. The inflatable cage includes a hub, a perimeter tube, and support tubes connected between the hub and perimeter tube. Fill tubes enable inflation of the support and perimeter tubes. The assembly includes a parachute-material enclosure connected to the inflatable cage and structured to create drag to reduce a velocity of the aerial vehicle when the inflatable assembly is deployed. The assembly includes weight distribution straps physically coupled between the vehicle and the enclosure or inflatable cage.
