I wouldn't fly the Super D without a parachute and, in fact, I'm so used to it that I even wear it for cross-country flights. I'll try and find out exactly what I'm sitting on - not my plane - and let you know. You could also email/call Allen Silver at Silver Parachutes in the San Francisco Bay Area (http://www.silverparachutes.com), who also has a bunch of training material on how to get out of the plane in an emergency. I had a very interesting conversation with him about this a few months ago - turns out that in the Decathlon you can't just pull that pin out because of the other latches on the door.
