The
parachute
that you deploy if your
main chute
gets
messed up
and you have to
cut
it while
skydiving
. In
civilian
rig
s, the
reserve
is packed in the compartment above the
main chute
, and usually has a slightly faster deploy time than the
main
. Reserves are
pull
ed after you have cut your main - if you deploy a reserve while still attached to your main, there is a good chance the two chutes will tangle as they vie for dominance above your head.
You had
damn
well better
hope
that your
reserve
work
s right or you are
screwed

The
reserve
may also be
deployed
if you fail
yourself
to do so by your
automatic activation device
(
AAD
). This
nifty
device
will sense that you are still in
freefall
at a particular
altitude
and will release your
reserve chute
for you, saving your life if you are
unconcious
or completely
spaced out
or have lost your
altitude awareness
.
