The patent concerns a controlled multi-stage decreasing drag parachute. The cloth portion of the canopy is provided with a centerline connecting the apex thereof to the load. One or more sets of suspension lines are connected at their upper ends to respective spaced points about the periphery. Their lower ends are slidably restrained around the centerline, the restraining means being releasable upon the application of a predetermined force to reduce the parachute drag area.
