TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Analysis of opening shock of a chest mounted reserve parachute JO - Journal of biomechanical engineering A1 - Khader, G. A. A1 - Huston, R. L. SP - 121 EP - 125 VL - 109 IS - 2 N2 - 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.
