A parachute system includes a parachute which is coupled to a rocket via a first load path, which includes a tow line, one or more upper parachute lines, and one or more lower parachute lines, and a second load path, which includes a release line. The rocket is configured to tow the parachute via the tow line. There is a lower parachute line restrainer which when released permits the lower parachute lines to extend to full length. There is also a release which is configured to open in the event a load switches from the first load path to the second load path; when the release is open, the parachute and the rocket are permitted to separate.
