About

TM 10-1670-213-10 a. The Parachute Canopy. The parachute canopy (figs. 1-6 and 1-7) is made of 1.1 ounce ripstop nylon and has 14 continuous type III nylon canopy lines. The canopy lines run continuously from a connector link, through the parachute canopy to an opposite connector link. b. Riser Assemblies. Each personnel parachute has two nylon riser assemblies (fig. 1-6) which form a part of the harness assembly. Each riser is equipped on one end with a male fitting for the canopy release; except on the NB-8 parachute which is not equipped with canopy release assemblies. On the back type parachutes, the opposite end of each riser is attached to a suspension line connector link. Each of the two risers used on the chest type parachute has a riser snap fastener located on the end opposite the canopy release male fitting.
