How do they disconnect removable pilot chutes and d-bags?

Mel from Skyworks explained it to me as follows:

The D-bad and PC are attached to the back of the Slider via a 6 foot or so line.
The D-bag and PC are attached only to the line and not at the ring on top of the canopy.
When the canopy is deployed, the bag comes off of the canopy and trails behind again only attached by the 6 foot line.

The user then pulls the cable release on the slider to release the rings. the rings stay around their line groups respectively.The release system looks something like the three ring release.
