I wanted a square chute because they are considerably thinner and I needed

may be broken too. The round chute will get you down safely, even if all
you can do is pull the cord.

What type is the military using in their jettison seats?

Interesting site, but I can't find info about the type of canopy they
use. I am guessing it is round, since after an ejection you may be in
no shape to fly a square chute?
