Well, that sucks. But then, skydiving and shark swimming come with inherent disclaimers.

I jumped in the early 80’s. Square chutes want to open but can collapse. Round chutes didn’t always want to open, but once there, stayed there.

It’s a lot safer than one would think. My dropzone at the time had been open since 1968 and had it’s first fatality about a year ago.
