Doesn’t seem like there would be much use for a chute in an atmosphere like this

Sort of wild, but there are even plans for gliders that can be used in the very thin Martian atmosphere.

What? You think the Martians just sit around playing video games all day?

Maybe a hang glider would be fun?
Some of the volcanoes are 60K feet high; what a ride.
