I asked a similar question once of the local ultralight trike guru. The way
the chute was mounted, it looked to me like it would be a foregone
conclusion that it would get fouled in the prop after it deployed.

He said "yea, so what?"

The rigging was a very heavy Kevlar strap (so he said) and would simply stop
the prop cold.

I wonder how many times this theory has been tested...



Nobody has ever complained of this happening. ;(
