Where I fly, the ability to fly the parachute is a big factor in
reducing the prospect of injury on landing due to canyons, rocks,
bluffs, etc. Being able to pick my touchdown point (allowing for the
winds) can make a big difference. It was for these reasons, and after
one of our pilots, a former Army jump master, received injuries after
jumping a round emergency chute near Moriarty, that I switched to a
square chute.
