Disclosed is a low-drag/high-speed pilot chute which is attached to a bridle cord, and a high-drag/low-speed pilot chute which is attached with a weak link to the bridle cord. In a low-speed deployment scenario, the high-drag pilot chute provides enough drag to deploy the canopy quickly. However, if the deployment speed is high enough, the force from the high-drag pilot chute will exceed the strength of the weak link and break it. This separates the high-drag pilot chute from the rest of the assembly. The low-drag/high-speed pilot chute then continues deploying the parachute, effectively protecting the parachute and its cargo from the ill effects of having too much pilot chute force.
