Ted,

Thanks for the response. My local rigger suggested a square, but only
if I was trained. I think it's important to remember that glider pilots
will bail out under not the best of circumstances, may take a while to
get oriented after the chute opens, and may even be partially
incapacitated by trauma resulting from a collision. Assuming you may
not be able to steer, which canopy would be better for a untrained,
hapless skydiver?
