Under the wrong circumstances, the airfoil can beat the jumper to the ground.

I had no idea.   You just described a slam-dunk but with a human instead of a basket ball.

You can induce what is known as a dynamic stall, then full flight recovery. During one of those maneuvers at an airshow I saw the chute dive low, I could see the horizon over the trailing edge of the canopy, then the foil’s pilot chutes wrapped around the lower lines, cutting my canopy in half. pucker factor.

I started pulling lines until it unraveled. I never did that maneuver again.
