Abstract

A parachute riser system (10) for decreasing the velocity of a payload (16) attached to a parachute (14) is provided. The parachute riser system (10) comprises a pressure vessel (12) mounted between the payload (16) and the parachute (14). A piston (22) is slidably mounted within the pressure vessel (12) with the piston (22) secured to the payload. A gas generation mechanism (20) generates a charge and moving the piston (22) in a general direction toward the parachute.
