I have been creamed under both rounds and squares. If it is merely wind and you know what you're doing, you're way better off with a square. That said, I tend to think that whatever kind of parachute he was using, that dust devil would have hosed him, and that walking away would be a matter of chance. An issue with squares is that they are prone to collapse in turbulence, and that can be very painful.
