In order to maintain an even pull on the entire parachute with lines we suggest you
suspend a weight (your harness or a sand bag) off the bridle hanging over the edge of
the table.
The lines are to be inspected for damage and to ensure that they are straight. To
accomplish this, take any two adjacent lines, for example, Pos. 1 and 20, and walk
them down to the bridle, checking for any cross-tangles. If there are any tangles,
continue this process, looping the bridle through the crossed line at the juncture of the
lines and the bridle until all tangles have been removed.
Flaking the Canopy
The following example describes folding the Profile 2 20, which has 20 panels and
lines. Folding of other canopies would follow a similar pattern; only the number of
panels and lines would be different.
One takes Line No 1 (of the main support lines) and counts half of the lines, (in this
case of the Profile 2 20, 10 lines) and lays them together on one side.
Now, with Lines 1-10 on the right, arrange Lines 11-20 on the left. The flaking of the
panels now begins with panel/line No. 10. To this end, one after another, the panels
from No. 10 to No. 1 are picked up and flaked-folded, holding the stacked lines
between the thumb and fore-finger.
Once the Lines Nos. 10-1 have been folded, move the bundle of lines so that they are
now held between the fore finger and the middle finger. Now, Panel/Line Nos. 20-1 can
also be flaked-folded between the thumb and forefinger, placing each successive line
on top of the previously stacked lines.
The canopy is now laid back down on the table in such a manner that the bundles of
panels are divided, with the highest No. Panel (in this case No. 20) on the left. Now
straighten the apex of the canopy to make all the panels even. The canopy is then
weighted down as illustrated (Picture 2A).
