An improved parachute and parachute deployment slider is disclosed. Embodiments of the improved slider seek to reduce slider rebound and more properly stage parachute deployment, particularly the deployment of ram air parachutes weighing two to fifteen pounds. One slider comprises of a rectangular fabric slider body with relatively lightweight grommets mounted adjacent each of the four corners on the slider. Another slider has relatively lightweight suspension line rings mounted externally from the slider fabric body at the corners of a rectangular slider body. One embodiment of the preferred parachute has a relatively smaller and lightweight pilot chute as well as relatively less elastic suspension lines at the slider stop positions on the parachute.
