On a round canopy were you taught to pull on the shroud lines just before touchdown to reduce the rate of descent and impact?

It is a pity you cannot flare the Cirrus when landing under a parachute. Now if the Cirrus had a winch you could start so you could quickly wind up six feet of lines just before touchdown...
