Where does the main pilot chute bridle attach to the canopy?

The main pilot chute bridle attaches to the top center of the canopy, which is crucial for ensuring effective deployment of the parachute. When the pilot chute is thrown, its placement at the top center allows it to catch the wind efficiently and pull the canopy out of the container. This positioning contributes to a smooth and stable opening sequence as the pilot chute inflates and generates the necessary drag to extract the main canopy from its packed state.

Correct bridle attachment is essential for proper canopy inflation; if the bridle were attached at any other location, such as the side or rear, it could lead to uneven inflation or other deployment issues, potentially resulting in a dangerous situation during the jump. Understanding the proper attachment point is vital for maintaining safety and ensuring a successful parachute deployment.
