I was just curious as to if anyone has tried using a kill-line to slow deployment? I have been playing with this idea for a few weeks and wanted to share it. The idea is that the kill-line is a solid line that attaches from the harness to the center of your parachute. the shroud lines attach to an elastic outer tube with the kill line running down the middle. When the elastic is put under enough pull force to cause it to stretch the edges of the canopy are allowed to drop aft of the center of the canopy allowing huge amounts of air to spill. Since the shroud lines will always be under tension from the elastic tube the canopy will only apply a pre-tuned(tuned by the strength of the elastic) deceleration force at any given velocity(within reason).
