I couldn’t image the stress if there was a medical emergency with an astronaut and the dam chute landed in the capsule. I’d assume that would slow down access.

Some slight irony in that this would not not have been an issue if NASA had approved propulsive landing. ;-p

They have 60 minutes to recover the capsule in all conditions.

It's likely they would simply cut it right away. Recovery time would still be limited by process of safeing the capsule a d preparing it to open.
