I think he might have made aÂ* better landing under a rectangular chute.

I am surprised to see that. The Pioneer L-10 chutes (static line) I jumped with had quick-disconnects to prevent you from being dragged through the countryside like this fellow!
Do you think one could have 'flown' a rectangular chute out of such a dust-devil?
Anyhow, my next chute will not be a round one.
