Good points. These safety tips can't be overstressed. I will even add that you don't even necessarily need to be going 148 or 150mph to consider a chute, especially at 3000 lbs. It is a good idea to go ahead and start using a chute BEFORE you need it to get used to the feel of it deploying and also to stay in practice on packing. Also, the routine of using it regularly will pay off if you ever do have a brake failure - you won't panic. It seems like a hassle to pack every run but it could save your life!
