Insurance for anyone who flies: when the minicopter goes down, this turns a fatal fall into a landing. Two tarps and two sewing kits at a Level 2 bench.

Overview

In-game description

Once equipped, press [+jump] while in mid-air to pull the cord. Must be repacked after use. Must be at least 15m above the ground in order to deploy.

A SAM Site on a roof below opens fire, and the minicopter you are riding in is not making it home. With a parachute on your back you jump while there is still height under you and drift down instead of hitting the ground at full speed. The same goes for a cliff or a tall monument you would rather not climb down.

Equip it before take-off, not once the missiles are in the air.
Jump from at least 15 metres above the ground.
Press your jump key, Space by default, in mid-air to pull the cord.
Repack it after landing, before the next flight.

The bill lands on parts the farm wants too: two tarps, two sewing kits and fifty cloth at a Level 2 bench, plus 60 scrap to research. So most groups make one or two for whoever flies, not one for everybody.

As far as we know it uses the same back slot as a large backpack, so before a flight you pick one. Fly with the parachute and keep the loot in your pockets.
