Parachute Deployment Bag

A complete or partial container, usually of fabric, into which the parachute or a part of it is folded. It is designed to assist and control the portion of a parachute's operation occurring from the time of pack opening to the instant the suspension lines are fully extended, but prior to the inflation of the canopy. The bag may be attached to the static line, pilot chute or some other component of the parachute.
