Embodiments of a torsion stop deployment system for utilization onboard an airborne object are provided. In one embodiment, the torsion stop deployment system includes a deployable element hingedly coupled to the airborne object and rotatable from a non-deployed position to a deployed position. The torsion stop deployment system further includes a torsion bar member, which is fixedly coupled to the airborne object and which resiliently resists the rotation of the deployable element to reduce shock to the airborne object during deployment of the deployable element.
