The NIBA Blog had a good write up on a meet where they used a parachute as a shelter.

There are some photos of it in action here: http://bushcraftni.blogspot.com/2010/12/niba-weekend-gathering.html

They might be able to give you a few ideas, although I reckon if we used one as a summit tipi we would quickly find ourselves blown to Rathlin Island

I've seen them used plenty as a shelter in forests but I'm guessing they're not too wind friendly. We could get one as a quick way to get down from summit camps
