Interesting. Found a Facebook post that has some pictures and descriptions of the backup parachute(s) system. https://www.facebook.com/ScaldedCatSteamRockets/posts/162844... (click the "+4" and page through)

The text uses the phrase "backup parachute handle" several times, but not "backup parachute" on its own. The former is potentially ambiguous - is it possible that there was only the one parachute, possibly with two separate deployment mechanisms?
