Some parachutes trap air, just like a loose jacket can trap air on a bike ride. This trapped air wants to escape. It can often only escape at the edges, which makes those edges flap. Some parachutes have a hole in the center to release air in a controlled way. It makes the parachute more stable, with only a minimal change in drag.

Shout out to the person falling that couldn't get their chute untangled

I was a parachute rigger way back in the day. One of the reasons the Apex has the hole is it forces the air to a central point. Kind of like a funnel. It keeps the chute straight. The narrator is correct. At least for the round T-10c or the MC1-1 Parachutes. Civilian rectangle chutes work differently.

The hole is to prevent a collapse and drop the soldier as fast as possible to keep them from being a floating target.

I’m a current and qualified US Army parachute rigger. The purpose of the holes you see in the corners and on the sides of the parachutes is for steering and maneuverability. On the T-11 parachute(the square-ish parachute) has holes in it’s corners to allow a soldier to pull down on the chute, closing one of the holes to force more air out of the rest, which allows them to drift in a direction to avoid colliding with something. Others have holes to allow for better maneuverability. For instance, the MC-6(the dome parachute shown earlier in the video) has what’s called extended gores. There’s two lines the Paratrooper can use to maneuver the canopy to face a certain direction. They pull down on the line, closing the extended gore, and the parachute will rotate. It’s all about controlling the flow of air to the best of your ability.

"they can drastically slow a fall allowing a softer landing"
learned so much thanks 🙏

When a round parachute (used in static line jumps) does not have a hole on the top, the parachute tends to dump air uncontrollably. This causes the parachutist to swing like a pendulum. If the timing is such that parachutist reaches the ground when they are at the top of a swing they can slam hard and become injured. The hole at the apex allows air to escape controllably and ensures the parachutist lands on his/her feet

Humans do speed up as they fall, but they eventually stop at a certain speed. You don't just speed up nonstop, you reach a terminal velocity

This is how I drag my essays to 3000 words.

WW2 ,and the German parachutes didn't have a hole ,and they jelly fished , if you landed when the chute went up you were OK but if the chute was going down you could break your legs.Hence the hole to have a controlled descent. I know this as my father was a para in ww2.

The hole in the apex isn't so much to stop oscillation, it's there to stop the apex from getting blown out when the canopy deploys.
The canopy material is made from a porous nylon which allows air to pass through the canopy and stop it from spilling out the sides, thus causing oscillation.
Modern round parachutes are typically made from zero porosity materials and will use mesh panes or corner vents to allow are to pass through and are far more efficient in stopping oscillation than porous materials.

The t10d has a center hole, the mc6 parachute has channels to allow a jumper to control their direction, but those are only used in sof units, not ranger regiment though. Units like regiment, division and 173rd to name just a few, the mission set is airfield seizure and they want everyone to land as close together as possible, so the ability to make actual steering inputs is removed. The swaying you see with static line parachute, is caused by a weak exit. The free fall parachute has channels, that allow mff guys to fly the parachute for long distances. But they don't have a center hole like you'd see with a t10

First sentence completely wrong......the drag is perfectly balanced to get you to the ground quickly so you aren't a target hanging in the sky, but not so fast that you break everything.

It's so rare that parachute information videos are actually correct. Good work!

Budget cutbacks.
They didn't have enough fabric to make a whole parachute so they left out 10% around the hole.

Key word: softER, not soft

In the early days of rocket recovery, they could not figger why their chute would fail. many thousands of dollars were spent to find the cause of failure. all they had to do is look @ an old ww2 chute.

I ❤ & SUPPORT EVERY BRANCH OF OUR MILITARY! Now a days I must say I'M A REAL WOMAN FROM HEAD TO TOE! 💋
My brother is in the military & I want to thank you all from my heart ❤️ for YOUR SERVICE. 🇺🇸
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I was a paratrooper in the mid 60's. We jumped with the T-10. My best friend started to take up skydiving and was given a modified Double L chute which didn't have an adequate apex vent. The chute oscillated just before he hit the ground so that he landed on his side rather than his feet. He severely broke his leg as a result. The apex is to prevent such oscillations
|
Did I see him drop his gear right before landing so he doesn't have to deal with that extra weight when his feet touch the ground? As a civilian, I had no idea they did this!
