Parachute

A parachute is a device that allows an individual to transport from great heights. It can also be used to slow down a vehicle at high speeds by causing drag.

In the Julian Bashir, Secret Agent holoprogram, Julian Bashir fell out of a dirigible over Iceland but was equipped with a parachute that slowed his fall and there was a submarine waiting for him after the fall. 

On Torgu-Va the Tarn forces would deploy troops to the battlefield by having them jump from airplanes and descend to the planet using parachutes.
