Never having flown one of 'those' beasties, one can only assume.....
Stall speed with flaps approx = 60 KIAS....
Approach speed in glide = 60 x 1.3 = 78 KIAS....
Therefore, possibility of 'hooning' over paddocks of dubious surfaces / rabbit holes, ditches, etc etc @ some 70MPH (Think car/Ute) with possibility of overturning / more damage = more injury due much smaller wheels, and one 1 wheel at the front end....
vs the perceived 'safer' let down via the 'chute.....
Unless you've read about and ascertained the 'chute results to be 'not always good', then maybe its not a 'bad' prospect...??
Yep. I've heard about the deceleration of the chute vs the ground....but then, I've not had the training nor the 'advice' re the 'chute ...
Just food for thought...
