Who says the chute packs have to actually have a chute in them? Heck, that's a
convenient place to store the week's dirty tee shirts!

Well let's see. Mount the chutes up high to get the chute in the air flow, to
improve deployment. Make it thin and wide to reduce drag and expose more chute
to air flow for improved deployment. Place chute in a 2" high, 6" wide, 30-36
" long bag for reliable deployment. All of the above for _safety. _I think Bob
(S) would have fun with this as well as some excellent ideas. Bryan _ _ drmayf
