    Also just being realistic those parachute are probably just going to be questionable bargin bulk buys. They’d be designed to be as cheap as possible while just barely passing legal standards. They never be maintained or inspected. And there’s no way they support my 6’5" 300lbs ass as my frozen corps plummets to the earth below.

      FAA is one of the better government agencies. In the US, they’d have to be tested and be shown to work on a regular basis in the same way that the emergency rafts and oxygen candles are tested.
