Amazon has apparently patented a delivery label which acts as a parachute, allowing packages to be dropped from drones to their delivery destination. Thanks to a system of cords, a parachute, a breakaway cover, and possibly a harness to keep everything in place, the label could be applied to a package. It would be available in different sizes, according to the senior technical program manager for Prime Air, listed as the inventor on the patent applied for in August 2015.
