Modifications to Improve Drop Time
Shorter strings, two thirds the width of the parachute.
The parachute should be flat. The larger the parachute
the more effective. (As long as there's enough space for
it to open.) Bunch the cords by sides?

strings as well. But, I mean, we won, so how bad could it
have been really?
