Please wait while the video loads.

A frequent view during World War 2... Always pull the lower lines to stall the parachute! ;)

Yeah, that's about all you do....
For the round canopies, that's what you do. For the more modern square canopies you can just pull in one or both steering lines which are connected to the trailing edge of the canopy. If the wind is blowing hard, then you'll have to run like hell with the wind while collapsing the canopy. Been there, done that a few times. Best thing to do, if the wind is blowing hard, is not to put yourself into that situation.
