Red and white it turns out. As it's time for a re-pack - let's see if it works.... Softie Bale Out Chute.... Pull the "D" ring....

: "Ping" the Sprung Drogue launches off your back

: Sprung Drogue - detail

: Drogue pulls chute out. Kelpie - the cat - is impressed.

: Risers unreeve

: Parachute catches breeze

: will start to inflate (hopefully). You need 300ft for deployment and and other 200ft for a deceleration and "save". Better to decide to leave at 1,500ft AGL if you are going to bale.

: Steering toggles are yellow tapes stitched to each shoulder. Pull to break the stitching and get hold of it.

200’ for deceleration? I was always taught that by the time of inflation you were decelerated.

I think I am stumbling on the terminology. Estimate 300’ for it to get out and start to open, then maybe the 200’ for full opening. At full opening you are decelerated.

Mine is a Micro Wedge and you were the second reminder in as many days it's due :)
