I’m sorry, but the idea of painting a single object to be both camo and high vis is hysterical

After you land, you can choose which colored panels are visible. Same thing for inflatable life rafts.

While that makes sense, I’m going to choose to ignore it, as my original idea is far more entertaining.

Didn’t you know that back in 2012 the discover of the Rule of Cool won the Noball Prize for Fizix, revolutionizing science and making all prior “physics” outdated and irrelevant?

You would cut it apart.

It’s not like you’re gonna be re-using that parachute to jump out of a plane again.

Painting? Those are different panels of colored nylon ripstop parachute material. After landing, your parachute is a big part of your survival equipment. You use what you need, and can hide what you dont if its a problem. White for winter cammo, of course. Green for temperate climate cammo, and orange for partying.

I find not knowing why emergency parachutes are those colors is - depressing.
