Abstract
A lever-lock release system is configured to releasably couple two objects together, for example a parachute and a payload. The lever-lock release system may comprise a first lever and a second lever, each rotatably coupled to a rigid base. When activated, the levers cascadingly rotate to release a first object and a second object. With these systems and related methods, various failure modes may be eliminated, such as undesired premature deployment of recovery parachutes during aerial delivery.

- a rigid base;
- a first lever coupled to the rigid base such that the first lever is rotatable with respect to the base;
- and
- a second lever coupled to the rigid base such that the second lever is rotatable with respect to the base.
