<p>A reefing slider (24) for providing improved line management and canopy deployment characteristics of a ram air inflated airfoil type canopy (12). During initial descent of the parachute the slider, secured by fastening elements (80), is held against the canopy (12) in the upper reefing position where it mechanically restricts canopy (12) deployment while giving the canopy (12) time to achieve proper orientation following the drop from the launching aircraft. Upon sufficient air flow into the canopy cells (30), the fastening elements (80) retaining the slider (24) are broken, releasing the slider and enabling full opening of the canopy (12).
