Static Line Jump

A static line jump is a type of parachuting where the parachute is automatically deployed after a skydiver exits the aircraft. A static line—a cord connected from the airplane to the parachute—is pulled as the jumper leaves, pulling open the chute without the jumper needing to do anything. This method makes the process safer and more controlled, especially for training beginners or rapid military deployments. The static line ensures a quick and reliable parachute deployment, allowing the jumper to focus on maintaining stability as they descend.
