An automatic parachute release device is a quick release coupler that becomes disengaged after an externally applied tension load is removed. The parachute release device has a parachute connection fastener, a camlock mechanism, a retention mechanism and a catch pin. The camlock mechanism is a mechanical controller that transitions the retention mechanism between a set configuration and a release configuration. While in the set configuration, the retention device is clamped around the catch pin. While in the release configuration, the retention mechanism disengages the catch pin. Thus, the retentive capabilities of the retention mechanism are governed by the configuration of the camlock mechanism. The retention mechanism remains in the set configuration until the load is removed. At which point, the retention mechanism slides into a dedicated slot of the camlock mechanism and becomes disengaged.
