 Wills Wing Drogue Chute
When used with a harness which has a single, center mounted main support, a means must be provided to attach the drogue chute to the side of the harness, at a point even with the main support attachment, and in an area where the harness is reasonably rigid when the pilot is in landing position.
If a drogue chute were properly deployed, and then subsequently became caught or entangled with the keel or a batten on the trailing edge of the glider, it could dangerously compromise the pilot’s ability to control the glider during the approach and landing.
Even just the distraction to the pilot created by a drogue chute which is oscillating significantly, or collapsing and re-inflating, could cause a lack of attention that could lead to a serious accident.

 Chute (racecourse) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In horse racing, the term chute refers to an extended path increasing the length of a straight portion of a racecourse, particularly an oval-shaped one, allowing races of a specified distance to start at a location other than on one of the turns.
The backstretch chutes at Aqueduct and Arlington Park are long enough to permit races to be run at one mile (1,609 m), while Saratoga's chute is shorter, extending only to 7 furlongs (1,408 m).
Added in 1953, this is a downhill turf chute consisting of a straight section, a right turn (rare in modern American horse racing), another straight section, and a long, sweeping left turn, before finally crossing over the dirt course and joining the turf oval.

 RE: FAILSAFE CHUTE
Then when (i presume failsafe activated) the servo released the canopy, and the chute "sprung" back into shape and out into the airflow, which then is dragged to the bag of the model, for a safe tumble to earth.
I'm assuming that the canopy is connected to the saftey chute, so that when the canopy is released, it is pulled back by the air stream and pulls the first chute with it.
If the first chute is not connected to the canopy then the chute must be lined with a memory metal.

Once the chute is out of the bag and the 5/16 cable is stretched tight, the thrust and inertia of the rocket breaks the 500 pound strength cord attaching the chute to the bag.
The chute will not see more load than the full weight of the aircraft until the aircraft has completely spun around and the aircraft center of gravity is lined up with the cable.
The chute is not designed to be deployed at our test weight at a sea level speed greater than 200 mph, but since the aircraft is forced to rotate sideways before the full force is seen by the chute, we expect the speed might drop 40 mph during this manuver.
