1, and as it deployed out of its pack the canopy came out first,  then the suspension lines and finally the risers connected to the  harness. With this design, by the time all of the lines are fully  deployed the canopy has completely filled with air, acting as a  brake for the lines, causing the paratrooper to come to an abrupt  stop at the end of the deployment. The heavier the paratrooper and  the more equipment he was carrying, the more sudden the stop or  shock. Current design parachutes deploy in the completely opposite  way (lines first, then canopy), greatly reducing the opening shock.
