The control assembly reduces damage to a parachute under high-speed deployment. In the arrangement disclosed, the line compartment lacings are cut at the start of deployment and the canopy compartment remains laced until the line stretch which occurs just prior to unlocking the pack locking flaps. The lacings for the canopy compartment are cut when the suspension lines are fully extended by lanyards connected to the suspension lines and attached to the canopy compartment lace cutting knives.
