Slider - Skydiving (gambling)


Slows and controls the speed of a canopy' s opening. It' s a piece of fabric with large grommets through which the four major line groupings are threaded. When packed, the slider is pulled to the top of the lines. During deployment, it is forced down the lines by the expanding canopy. Without a slider, most canopies would open so hard that they could blow out major seams and "explode".
