Claim 10:
11. A method of making a parachute assembly, comprising:
forming a first riser by binding a first plurality of suspension lines together;
forming a second riser by binding a second plurality of suspension lines together;
forming a first confluence using the first plurality of suspension lines;
forming a second confluence using the second plurality of suspension lines;
coupling a first parallel riser in parallel with the first riser between the first confluence and a first attachment location;
coupling a second parallel riser in parallel with the second riser between the second confluence and a second attachment location of the second riser;
coupling a first tandem riser to the first parallel riser, and a second tandem riser to the second parallel riser;
coupling a cradle between the first tandem riser and the second tandem riser, wherein the first riser, the first parallel riser, the first tandem riser, the second riser, the second parallel riser, the second tandem riser and the cradle are compressed together when the parachute is in a stowed position, wherein the first riser, the first parallel riser, the first tandem riser, the second riser, the second parallel riser, the second tandem riser and the cradle are decompressed in response to a deployed position of the parachute assembly;
coupling a canopy to the first plurality of suspension lines and the second plurality of suspension lines;
coupling a first plurality of horizontal straps between the first parallel riser and the first tandem riser; and
coupling a second plurality of horizontal straps between the second parallel riser and the second tandem riser.
