Still use the squre...as long as you are able to pull the handle you
will be O'K. In a case of square canopies there is a set of brake lines...if you don't release them your forward speed is only about 1-1.5 MPH and descent speed is 12 feet per second as compare with rounds of 17 feet per second. In addition, if you don't release the brake lines the square canopy will turn into the wind by itself. So, even as you are referring to not ideal circumstances your squre will take you back to the ground with much higher degree of safety.
