Still use the squre...as long as you are able to pull the handle you
will be O'K. In a case of square canopies there is a set of brake
lines...if you don't release them your forward speed is only about
1-1.5 MPH and descent speed is 12 feet per second as compare with
rounds of 17 feet per second.


Can't you just get a bigger round canopy to come down slower?
