A deployable lead line anchor point system for an aerodynamic decelerator on an aerial vehicle, the system including a housing that is structured to attach to the aerial vehicle and store the aerodynamic decelerator in a stored state prior to deployment, the housing including a base that is structured to removably mount the housing to the aerial vehicle, and an inflatable tube that is stored in the housing and configured to extend from the housing and deploy the aerodynamic decelerator away from the aerial vehicle in response to inflation of the inflatable tube, the inflatable tube having a first end with a fluid port, and a second end, the first end structured to connect to the housing and the second end having a connector structured to anchor the lead line on the aerodynamic decelerator to the inflatable tube, preventing entanglement of the decelerator with the aerial vehicle.
