I'm sure it's similar to a chute that a 'meat missile wears. Depending on
the material, human 'chutes have to be repacked every 60 to 120 days. And, I
have seen how the 'chutes on a Cirrus has to be packed, it's a ram that
shoves it into it's tube. It can't be packed by hand because they have put
such a large 'chute into such a small container. Just seems like it would be
more of a liability and a PITA than anything.

Amen.

Doesn't the 'chute have to be dug out of the fiberglass every few years
and
inspected/overhauled?
