A parachute assembly having inflation controlling characteristics can include a primary parachute, primary parachute suspension lines coupled to the primary parachute and extending downward therefrom toward a load, and a reefing system. The reefing system can include a slider canopy configured to control opening of the primary parachute. A plurality of slider suspension lines extend from the slider canopy whereby the slider canopy is slidingly coupled to the primary suspension lines. Each slider suspension line can be slidingly coupled to the primary suspension lines by a slider ring. Each slider ring can be configured to receive a plurality of primary suspension lines that converge together at a convergence point. In this manner, the slider ring can slide down the primary suspension lines, over the convergence point, and below the bottom ends of the primary suspension lines.
