Default Parachute 20 year limit

And people that used to jump ram air parachutes are likely flying gliders
with a square if they can afford it. I've seen enough round reserves
used to never want to give it a go.

Almost certainly not. People jumping ram air main chutes usually have
a ram air (square) reserve.
