Parachute
A parachute is usually a soft fabric device used to slow the motion of an object through an atmosphere by creating
drag. Parachutes are normally used to slow the descent of a person or object to Earth or another
celestial body within an
atmosphere.
Drogue parachutes are also sometimes used to aid horizontal deceleration of a vehicle (a
fixed-wing aircraft, or a
drag racer), or to provide stability (tandem freefall, or
space shuttle after touchdown). The word parachute comes from the French words para, protect or shield, and chute, the fall. Therefore parachute actually means "fall protection". Many modern parachutes are classified as semi-rigid wings, which are quite maneuverable, and can facilitate a controlled descent similar to that of a
glider. Although skydiving can have its thrills and excitements, it can be very dangerous too. Folding a parachute requires a high degree of skill, and an improperly folded parachute will not deploy, causing you to fall freely to the ground.
