parachute storage techniques

Parachute storage involves carefully folding the canopy and lines to prevent damage and ensure proper deployment. Typically, the canopy is laid out flat, then folded methodically to reduce volume. Lines are stacked and secured to avoid tangles. Before storage, parachutes are inspected and cleaned if necessary. They are stored in a dry, cool environment away from sunlight, chemicals, and sharp objects. Proper storage maintains parachute integrity, ensuring reliability and safety during future use. Regular inspections and correct folding techniques are essential for long-term preservation and optimal performance.
