Default How to fold a parachute

A friend of mine asked me to see if I could find out for him how to fold a parachute just in case he ever pulls it. Any of you that have parachutes, how do you fold it? Is there some kind of illustration that you have to exactly show me how to fold it? Any help is appreciated.

As far as brand or whatever, I'm not very sure. I'll go out on a limb and say it's a simpson chute but i don't know.

It is hard to explain thru typing. If it is a Simpson you can call them and they will send you instructions.

One of the recent "Fastest Street Car" magazine(the one with all the LS1's like kp's and next's) had a little article about it, but it was for a Stroud parachute if I remember right. Atleast you can get a little better idea.
