6. Main Canopy Release Ripcord. The ram air parachute design features a single-point release that is
capable of releasing the main canopy and deploying the reserve in one smooth function. In the event
of a main parachute malfunction, the parachutist has only to withdraw the main canopy release
ripcord (as shown on the following page). Once withdrawn, the two rings on each riser are released
from the base ring, releasing the main canopy. If still attached to the main risers, the reserve static
line will withdraw the reserve ripcord pins, deploying the reserve parachute.
