Also, you're far more likely to roll it up in a ball during a landing,
so why not airbags too?

Chute can stay in the plane and is just another set of belts holding you into
your seat. PETER
Regarding parachutes, it's worth mentioning that there's never been an
inflight structural failure of a KR (the all-composite one at high speed
at the Gathering doesn't count, in my mind), although there is a
question of elevator bellcrank failure in one plane, but it's possible
it was crash in

I did take a tandem jump at the same place when I bought my chute to

I suggest you search out a skydiving drop zone near you. The staff there
will be glad to give you expert knowledge, let you try on chutes and even
give you instructions on how to get out, get stable and land. You may

Ask around amongst glider pilots which chute they would recommend for
comfort. Chutes are mandatory for flying gliders. If you can find a few
glider pilots close to your size, ask if you can try on their chutes to
see how mobile you can be while wearing it.
