Jeez thats incredible. Slows that aircraft down to great effect. 
Wonder why it was fitted in the first place?
Its as if they are trying to break the thing deliberately.

Some light aircraft have them fitted......they are standard on all Cirrus
I've seen a film from inside a light aircraft that flies through a glider cable
and the parachute saves it
