    A new automatic reserve parachute opener being developed by the Army Soldier Systems Center at Natick, Mass., is a little black box that clips to a jumper's gear. Sensors deploy the reserve four seconds after the jumper leaves the aircraft door or ramp unless the jumper deploys it manually or the main chute opens properly. Photo by Curt Biberdorf.
