Parachute System

A parachute system is a safety device used to slow a person or object descending through the air, reducing impact force upon landing. It typically consists of a canopy made from lightweight, strong fabric that inflates with air, creating drag that slows the descent. Parachute systems often include harnesses for secure attachment, deployment mechanisms to open the canopy at the right moment, and sometimes automatic systems to ensure deployment if the user is unable to do so. They are vital in activities like skydiving, aircraft emergencies, and space missions, providing controlled, safe landings from high altitudes.
