The mechanically opening parachute is a parachute that may be opened quickly at low altitudes, such as during an emergency exit from an office building, for example. The mechanically opening parachute includes a telescopic tube having opposed upper and lower ends. A harness adapted for releasably holding the user is secured to the lower end of the telescopic tube. The mechanically opening parachute operates similarly to a conventional umbrella, with the telescopic tube automatically opening upon actuation by the user, and with a conventional umbrella stretcher opening a plurality of ribs secured to a parachute canopy. Preferably, an annular skirt is fixed about the perimeter of the canopy. Suspension cords extend from the annular skirt to the lower end of the telescopic tube. |
