How to store a parachute

from:

Skydiving is an expensive sports and taking care of your parachute would help you minimize your costs unless you opt to buy a new one for negligence in storing it. Storing a parachute should be done properly so it may be ready for use the next time you sky dive and will have longer life.


1 First, deflate the parachute in a dry area until completely out of air. This will make it more easy to store and will consume less space.

Turn the chute to one of it's sides, and fold the tip of the chute towards chute's inside. Continue with the folding in the same way so that the strings of the chute are neatly overlapping.

2. Use a thick cord to tie the parachute's strings, and place them gently on the cloth of the parachute. Continue with the folding of the parachute until you have a small package and place it in a bag that is odor free.

3. Make sure that your parachute is stored in an area that doesn't have any sunlight but has a flow of air that is steady. The bag should be kept away from water, oil and any acidic solutions.

Some other things to remember:

Make sure that the tension is kept on your parachute's lines when it is stored, pulling them gently so that they form a line before tying them up.

If your parachute is exceptionally large, don't store it yourself. Ask a professional to help.

If you stuff your parachute into a bag without folding it, you risk damaging it. So take the time to fold it and store it properly as instructed above. Doing so, will not only save you money but also will reduce your clutter at home.
