Yes, we do for Doublebag static line RAM air parachutes over the ramp, its a feature the new RA-1 has as do other systems made by another mfgrs that have been used by other units to include the AF and marines for some time.

The device used to save him is called a HUPRA and is really quite brilliant, I don't know why we don't have it in our system quiet frankly as it is portable and can be used in Mil and civ A/C. It's quick to be employed and you could teach a monkey to set it up.
