Indeed, and it can be frustrating at times. I once spent quite some time getting a nice parachute opening animation where it really looks like the little drag chute pulls out the main chute and when deployed it moves with the wind. The first response I got was: these little drag chutes should not move with the wind once fully deployed since they fold back on most cases. Great but the fold-back is almost impossible to animate.
