IIRC: from another life, long, long ago..
two methods used to slow or lessen the opening shock of
a parachute, are the use of a deployment bag & pilot chute.
and the use of sliding ring or a sliding sheath, placed near
the lip of the chute, which slides down the lines toward the
harness or connecting pointas the air fills the chute
. this slows the opening of the
canopy mouth, thus making the opening shock much less..
