What's the deal with 20 year life span on chutes?

I think you may find it's a manufacturere stipulated thing (at least in some cases), like a TBO on engines in powered airplanes. If it were just like TBO for engines in airplanes in would *not* be mandatory. There is no legal requirement to do anything at TBO for an airplane operated under Part 91. Many engines run well long past TBO and far too many fail shortly after being overhauled. Andy
