Default Parachute use in single seat gliders

The FAA isn't that dumb, well maybe they are, but they have addressed this before. Flying with an out of date pack job isn't legal, though it is the safest thing to do(compared to flying without a parachute.) Risk of getting caught, even post accident is pretty small. I've heard reserve data cards make a tasty snack during the post bailout walk home.
