The invention relates to a parachute having reefing lines formed about the body or canopy of the parachute in a spiral configuration in such a manner as to control the opening shock and rate of descent of such parachute. The spiral reefing of the parachute effectively increases or decreases the canopy area thereby controlling the aerodynamic drag of the parachute. (Author)
