re: Early Mission Abort.

I was under the impression that a properly-designed abort rocket pulls the capsule far beyond explosion or falling debris zones before the parachutes ever deploy. Capsule designs I've worked on operated this way, and usually expended the entire supply of orbital maneuvering propellant in the process. Is this not true for current Orion designs?
