Certainly not a basic RSL, which deploys a free pilotchute. The Sorcerer's
reserve is physically attach to the main canopy risers (acts as the
pilotchute). It's more like a direct bag system use for static line
students, and very quick, from the footage I've seen.

Do you really want a square reserve when you cannot ensure a reasonable body
position, its can still have all the classical deployment problems of a
square reserve. You will probably still be attached to your paraglider and
low - not the time to be dealing with a downplane.

Plus who going to pack them.
