I have mentioned on the Hercules thread the tale of our triple ULLA (42000 lbs total) which went AWOL on the approach to Knighton down. We did high level para the next day and the scar was very visible.
When dropping the MSP from the very low heights which we did the system relied not only on the main chutes operating correctly but on the anti swing parachute doing the designed job.
