I realize that this does not qualify me for flying over people in the eyes of the FAA, but I've found a way to mount my Mars Mini Parachute system to my P4P using some long Velcro cinch straps. The chute will spring deploy downward, which should give me an added second to shut off the props. I hope to never get to see how well it works. I plan on using it in situations where the likelihood of an individual accidentally walking under the drone would warrant the extra safety precaution, such as at an active construction site.
The downside is that a downward deployment will probably have the craft touch down with a motor first impact.
