A balloon system is provided including a balloon envelope, a payload secured to the balloon envelope, a first parachute positioned within a parachute container, the parachute container secured to the payload, a first bridle line having a first end secured to the balloon system and a second end secured to the parachute container, a controller positioned on the balloon system, wherein when the controller receives a signal to deploy the parachute container, the controller is operable to cause the parachute container to be released downwardly from the payload.

A parachute that can be deployed more quickly than before, a safety device provided with the parachute, and a flight vehicle provided with the safety device. An umbrella body of the parachute has a substantially hemispherical shape including a first impact buffer, a second impact buffer, and a shape holder, and includes a vent formed at a top portion and an umbrella edge portion constituting an opening. The first impact buffer and the second impact buffer are formed in a state where each of a plurality of base fabrics is disposed such that a center line L connecting a vertex P and a geometric center position of each of the base fabrics intersects an extending direction of a warp thread and a weft thread of the base fabric.

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.
