Default Round vs Square E-Chute

Mine has toggles.

I was looking at a friend's round emergency chute over the weekend which was open for inspection - no toggles. It also had no quick release clips to release the chute from the harness - so being dragged by the wind is a likely event. The cute had the most basic modification - just a mesh area at the back of the chute to impart some sort of forward motion. The consensus by the skydivers who were watching the packer inspect it is it will get a pilot down alive. The packer called it a "controlled bounce".

Does an emergency square have toggles?
