Lapes
Indeed there was an aircraft lost with all aboard while conducting LAPES at CFB Namao, late 70's early 80's? due to the load hanging up after the chutes had deployed however, I beleive that the system is still practiced today.
Needless to say, that even from the ground LAPESing is a sphincter tightener.
Cheers
