A safety and recovery system for an unmanned aerial vehicle including a parachute holder mountable to the aerial vehicle. A parachute is disposed in the parachute holder. An actuator is engaged with the parachute holder. A flight sensor is in communication with the actuator, the flight sensor programmed to detect one or more predetermined emergency flight conditions, and transmit an emergency signal when the flight sensor detects one of the predetermined emergency flight conditions. The actuator deploys the parachute from the parachute holder when the actuator receives the emergency signal from the flight sensor. Autonomous deployment of the parachute can help minimize damage to the aerial vehicle, equipment on the aerial vehicle, or objects or persons beneath the aerial vehicle, in the event of an emergency.
