Tom,
Floating puds were a very bad problem. Fortunately, I was aware of it, and as soon as I received my Racer, I modified the deployment system to a leg-mounted pilot chute. I never had a problem with it, and encouraged (strongly) everyone I met, who had a pud, to convert. I even modified a few along the way for some.
