An emergency parachute is a device for allowing the user to eject from a perilous high-altitude structure and float to safety once clear of the structure. The emergency parachute features a vest that may be donned by the user. The user is required to face toward the structure that he or she is escaping. In order to activate the canopy of the emergency parachute, the user is required to engage a first activation handle and a second activation handle of a simultaneous activation dual switch. The simultaneous activation dual switch ensures that the canopy is not accidentally deployed. A chute-inflation gas generator inflates the canopy and simultaneously ejects the user backward. The ejection serves the twofold purpose of ensuring that the user is able to clear the structure that he or she is escaping as well as aiding the user in overcoming any fears of jumping from a high altitude.

A parachute comprising:

a canopy;

a plurality of risers connected at each of their respective first ends to the canopy and connectable at each of their respective second ends to a harness; and

a panel extending between at least two of the plurality of risers,

configured such that when the parachute is deployed, a user's head is positioned generally between the plurality of risers and the panel is arranged behind the user's head to provide support thereto.

An article of manufacture, a parachute harness with main risers, configured in vertical flight mode, further comprising a vertical-to-supine upper riser release mechanism integrated into the parachute harness, further comprising a lower cutaway release mechanism integrated into the parachute harness, wherein when the operator is in vertical flight mode and releases the vertical-to-supine upper release mechanism, the parachute harness transitions to supine flight mode is disclosed.

Disclosed is a lumbar support system enabling the lower back to recoil during open canopy descent. The system includes at least one lumbar strap linked by a front link to the lower part of the main lift webs and arranged in such a way that same is adapted to be linked at least in one point to the back straps when arranged in a V shape at the rear of the parachute pack, or in two spaced-apart locations when arranged separately. After the main parachute opening, the angular pivoting of the lumbar strap performed by the transfer of the load onto the back of the user increases the respective spacing of the two main lift webs, which allows the lower back to recoil.

A fire escape parachute device designed for safe and effective evacuation from high-rise buildings (i.e., fixed bases) during emergencies, such as fires, is disclosed. The device comprises a canopy made from lightweight, durable, and tear-resistant fabric, reinforced with multi-strand Kevlar threads. A harness, featuring adjustable shoulder, thigh, and waist/chest straps, connects to the canopy via suspension lines and includes a front buckle for secure fastening. The device incorporates a deployment handle for manual parachute release, and in one embodiment, an automatic deployment system ensures canopy deployment if the user is not able to pull the handle. In other embodiments, the parachute includes sensors to monitor altitude and adjust the canopy to control descent speed.
