A parachute system for an airman ejected from an aircraft in an ejection seat includes at least one drouge parachute housed within a rigid hollow container. In conventional manner, the drogue parachute is connected by lines with releasable attachments on the seat, one of the lines being further connected with the main parachute so that the latter will be deployed after release of said attachments. The container is formed as a projectile mounted in a gun mounted on the ejection seat. The container has, at its end facing away from the direction in which it is fired, a closure connected with the lines and with the drogue parachute. When the container and closure are fired from the gun, and the closure is arrested abruptly by the lines, the container continues in its trajectory whilst the drogue parachute is drawn from the container and deployed by the lines. After the drogue parachute has left the container, the container is completely free from the other components and can thus separate completely from the airman and the parachute system. The inventive arrangement avoids the risk presented by conventional systems in which a drogue bullet remains connected with the system presenting a hazard to the airman.
