According to this invention, in systems which use crewmember parachute deployment prior to seat separation or wherein the seat retardation parachute is cut loose from the seat prior to crewmember parachute deployment, the potential for collision, between the ejection seat and a subsequently ejected crewmember, is substantially reduced by providing an elongated deployment sleeve member, for the seat parachute, which is secured to the underside of the crewmember's survival kit. The sleeve member is locked in place in the seat with the survival kit until after the crewmember has been separated from the seat. Since the sleeve member is physically attached to the survival kit, the parachute is forcefully deployed after the crewmember's parachute has deployed and the crewmember has separated from the seat.
