....You don't. Most likely the best thing to do is blow off the heat
shield and let a 3-6 skid arrangement take the impact. The Rogallo is
just to steer to, say, White Sands, and runway accuracy is not
required.

Apollo 10 apparently used this, based on the G levels during descent:http://history.nasa.gov/SP-368/p135b.htm

WHOOOAAAAAA . . . Look at the rate of onset of the initial reentry
g_loads. Must have felt something just short of being stepped
on . . . by something very large . . . and angry. There is nothing
subtle about that.

Yeah, 0 to 7 G in around 30 seconds must have been a bit of a transition
after all that weightlessness. :-)
