El paracaídas de reserva es un paracaídas de características análogas al principal (rectangular, con mandos, etc.) que se puede utilizar en caso de que el principal no funcione bien. El plegado de este paracaídas es muy cuidadoso y se revisa y rehace con regularidad. [...] Si, por cualquier motivo, el paracaídas principal no se abre, o se abre mal y no es operativo, entonces el paracaidista puede abrir el paracaídas de reserva. En estos casos, generalmente se libera también el paracaídas principal para no correr el riesgo de que pueda enredarse con el de reserva. 1, record 1, Spanish, - paraca%C3%ADdas%20de%20reserva
