Parachute

The parachute is an item that was occasionally seen in Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action, and was used much more frequently in Total Drama World Tour, regularly put to use by the eliminated contestants once they take the Drop of Shame. The parachute makes a minor appearance in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. They are later used to decide the team placements in the first episode of Total Drama: Pahkitew Island. A slightly different parachute appears in Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race.

X-Treme Torture
The parachute is used in the first part of the challenge. Trent and DJ have to skydive onto a couch to score points for their respective teams. After viewing the danger of the jump, a nervous DJ accidentally pushes Trent off the plane. Trent later falls into the Earth's crust, as a result of him not opening the parachute in time. Later, even though DJ pulls the parachute's chords in the wrong order, the parachute opens for him, swaying his flight direction, but eventually landing him safely, earning his team the point.

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island
In this episode, Justin manages to get the keys to the plane from Chef Hatchet. When he spots the million dollar case, he jumps down from the plane with the parachute on, and lands right in front of Lindsay, who is holding the case. The parachute then falls behind him and covers Lindsay's teammates, Beth and Ezekiel, thus preventing them from stopping Justin before he gets the case from Lindsay. Eva and Noah then attack Justin by dumping buckets of fish water onto him, placing a dead fish in his hair. As Justin panics over the well-being of his hair, Izzy runs up and shoves a bucket over his head, taking the case from him and running off. Justin starts wandering off aimlessly, with the bucket still over his head and the parachute still dragging behind him. However, the parachute is snagged by the broken diving board that Owen, DJ, Bridgette, Geoff, and Leshawna are riding on, dragging Justin along and into the lake, thus inadvertently causing him to make it to Total Drama Action.
