how come the parachute does not get tangled up?
doesn't need that the lines from the parachute cone to a central point then a single line down to the unitFiredog89 said:It could be that the centripetal force and the air resistance inside the parachute keeps it from tangling.

Maybe. But even spinning around a horizontal axis would not entangle the rope, if it attaches to a point on that axis at the circumference. Just like a gyro spinning around an horizontal axis, which is supported by a rope on just one side.joao paulo said:perspective. it looks it is spining horizontal but it´s already vertical.

The parachute is designed with a specific shape and structure that allows it to open and inflate properly during deployment. The canopy is made of lightweight, ripstop nylon material that has been carefully folded and packed in a specific way to ensure a smooth and controlled deployment.
The parachute is attached to the harness of the person wearing it, so it moves with the person during freefall. The person wearing the parachute also has control lines that they can use to steer and manipulate the parachute, preventing it from getting tangled.
In windy conditions, the parachute may experience some turbulence and movement, but it is designed to withstand these conditions. The canopy shape and suspension lines are carefully engineered to maintain stability and prevent tangling, even in windy conditions.
Prior to each jump, the parachute is carefully inspected and packed by a trained professional. Additionally, the person wearing the parachute must also ensure that their equipment is properly fitted and secured to their body. These precautions help to minimize the risk of the parachute getting tangled during deployment.
In the rare event that a parachute does get tangled during deployment, the person wearing it is trained to handle the situation. They can use their reserve parachute or attempt to untangle the main parachute. However, this is highly unlikely due to the careful design and packing of the parachute.
