Does anyone sell parachutes for wheelchairs? The test runs would be
something to see.

Given that military fighters usually have parachutes attached to the
pilot's chair, perhaps something along the same lines could be arranged?

That's the sort of thing I was thinking of, yes. How cool would it be to
parachute down while sitting in a chair?

Extra-impressive would be a parachuting chair which could not only
survive landing without serious damage, but push itself upright and have
a good chance that the wheels or other motive systems still work.
Probably wouldn't hurt to have a GPS, satphone, and flares in it,
either...

What /I'd/ most want would be a four-point harness, or at least a
seatbelt.
