    Well I had this issue on Droo once. Parachutes inflated .... but after a short time they deflated .... then the payload begins fall (increasing velocity towards the surface) and then the parachutes re-inflated. after which point the processes just cycled between inflated/deflated until hitting the ground and being destroyed. is this what is occurring? They only way I solved the issue was by increasing the mass of the payload which my parachute was trying to slow (which basically means your current parachute is too big) The current parachute is slowing your payload down so much that the tension on your chute lines is going slack causing the chute to deflate. So try a smaller parachute?
