Abstract

The effect of opening shock of a chest-mounted reserve parachute on the head/neck dynamics is studied. Comparisons are made with similar effects of a back-mounted reserve parachute. The analysis employs a biodynamic computer model developed in earlier research. The results show that there are significant advantages of a chest-mounted over a back-mounted reserve parachute.
