It does worry me your concern at a forced landing!
If a pilot stretches the glide and stalls that is a fault in the pilot or training.
With a forced landing even with a slight wind your ground speed will not be that high.
The difference is you will be in command of where you go in the air and even on the ground.
If the field is rougher than you thought you may damage the undercarriage ?
But I do not believe that there are that many fatalities or serious injuries from
Forced landings as long as you keep the thing flying and do not stall out!
With the chute pulled you no longer have any control and on windy days may not just have to suffer a high descent rate into the ground but also 30 odd kts forward speed.
You will also wreck the aircraft while in a forced landing you may have no damage or minimal damage compared to the chute.
Even taking out a hedge is not that big a deal!
Yes NO suitable landing site pull the chute but I still do not see the chute as an answer to all!
