Slider Drawstring Donation

In the late 1980's I invented a collapsible slider, the one on your parachute most likely. As a teenager new to the sport and clueless about the Patent filing process, I simply shared it with the world. I sent diagrams to the major manufacturers, without negotiating for a royalty. I was naive, and could not envision that someday I would need to send my children to college. My bad.

Now every parachute in the world has a collapsible slider, and I haven't gotten a dime. If you are so inclined, I would be deeply appreciative of any donations you are able to send for this invention and any other value I have intently brought to you.  I ask not in greed, but in need. 

Sincerely,

Brian Germain
