Pumpkin Parachute works

I’ve been working on saving pumpkins and not just launching them ever since I was contacted by the ACLU. They felt that our inhumane treatment of pumpkins was grounds for a lawsuit. So, to appease them I said I would create a safety device that would allow the pumpkins to be launched safely.The pumpkin parachute is the fruits of those labors.

The chute opens when a bag is pulled off by a string attached to the trebuchet. The chute is nylon fabric and the straps and harness are nylon strapping with two clasps to strap it in.
