Multi-staged suspension line length parachutes

A multi-staged suspension line length parachute is provided. The parachute may comprise a canopy, a suspension line, a bundle, a bundling confluence, a traditional confluence, and a riser. The parachute may also comprise a cutter and a cutter pin puller configured to activate the cutter. The bundle may comprise a bundling line configured to secure secondary length from the suspension line. The parachute may deploy to a first length. In response to tension on the cutter pin puller, the cutter may activate to sever the bundling line in the bundle, causing the secondary length of the suspension line to release. The parachute may then deploy to a second length.

Paracord cutter

A paracord cutter mechanism includes a shuttle tube extending between first and second ends. A paracord aperture is formed through the tube proximate the first end thereof. A rod is threadingly engaged into the first end of the tube and a cutting board formed at a distal end thereof. A cutter shuttle is configured to travel from the second end of the tube toward the first end of the tube after a pyrotechnic explosive cap is detonated. The cutter shuttle severs a paracord after engaging at a sufficiently high speed and forcing the paracord into the cutting board. A parachute can be deployed and then detached by severing different paracords.
