Friends who can be counted on to "catch you as you fall" and/or "ease your descent" --- i.e., they'll always "be there for you" during times of emotional distress, offer helpful ideas/cautions, etc.
Anytime an on-line "friend" whom I have not met yet (and therefore I cannot be sure if that person is reliable or "for real") invites/requests/allows me to go and meet him somewhere, I always peruse the map to see if any of my "parachute pals" happen to live in that same general area, and if so, I call them up first to ask if I may make a "secondary journey" over to visit them for a while if the person whom I was going to meet during my "primary mission" is either a no-show or not sociable/reasonable to me... it helps make the trip not be a total waste of time and travel-expenses, plus I'll have a shoulder to cry on and soothe me in my humiliation and disappointment at my failed attempt to cultivate a new friendship.

A person whole flies or travels a great distance to participate in a protest that has absolutely no bearing on their lives in any fashion but they feel justified in pushing their narrative even if destructive.
Last week we had a dozen Parachute Protestors at the school board meeting. These folks do not even have children.

A rarely observed mating ritual of homo sapiens from the Pacific North East. "The Pemberton Parachute" occurs when a female leaks or queefs male ejaculate and/or female "secretions" whilst asleep after a vigorous fudging. By the time of waking these various fluids have formed a cohesive bond in Satan's valley, swallowing, the entirety of the fitted sheet. Tired, but well rested from the previous nights fire hydrant jackhammering she leaps out of bed. This maneuver snaps the aforementioned fitted sheet from the mattress propelling the helpless woman out the window, fitted sheet, firmly attached in tow. It unfolds mid fall and thus safely, and embarrassingly returns the female to terra firma.

When a boy with long hair kisses you like Spider-Man kissed Mary Jane in that one scene—you know the one, yeah, that one—except horizontally and his hair falls around both your faces.
Girl A: “Did you see Jeshua give Morgan a pineapple parachute yesterday?”
Girl B: “No, I’m not into peaking from behind closet doors.”
Girl B: “No, I’m not into peaking from behind closet doors.”
