"modern flying styles"

A recent ad from a canopy manufacturer lists a (quote from someone?) stating that a canopy is "very suited for modern flying styles".

And what do you suppose that would that be?

Gary,

Can you link to the ad so we can better understand the context? Please PM it to me if you're not comfortable sharing details here.

I think ya gotta assume they mean swooping, but without the legal ramifications of saying so.

Flying with titanium rods and plates implanted?

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I assume Gary is talking about the katana.

"Modern flying styles" means "loaded at 1.5 with 50 jumps."

I believe that quote is refering to the fact the Katana takes a long time to recover from a dive.

I can imagine this being viewed as "Very Bad" in the past and "Very Good" now... "Modern Flying Styles"... makes sense to me.
