The man's parachute was open, however, it was not known if it had deployed properly, Kaiser said. I going out on a limb here and say that it didn't deploy properly.

Did a pit bull chew a hole in his parachute?

Hit a driveway - ouch. I wouldn’t want to be the folks who had to clean up that mess.

You have to consider other factors like:
A.) He was hit by an asteroid.
B.) Became disoriented by a large aluminum balloon
C.) Part of the chute passed through a black hole on the way down

Don’t hit the tail of the airplane as you jump out...

Never skydive with a jump master named “Pancake” ... or ... If at first you don’t succeed so much for skydiving ....

I just don’t see sufficient cause to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. I briefly considered skydiving as a hobby in college until common sense kicked in.

When I first read that, my thought was driveway, garage door, side of lawn, grass in between properties and the side of the street.
My next thought was exactly what yours was.

Friend of mine fell out of a CH-46 from 500 feet
he left an 18” deep crater in a roof, outline of his body, too
sort of like a cookie cutter impression
glad I wasn’t there.

My first jump consisted of a line twist which I had to kick out of before
it continued to twist. After eight hours of training I had no problem
with the deployment of the parachute. It was scary but I still went on to
make four jumps until I lost interest.

Must be fun finding a skydiver in your driveway - who has to clean it up?

I don’t think the writer wanted to be accused of jumping to a conclusion.
To: Chet 99
Skydiving. It's a
helluva sport.I've jumped 4 times myself, and decided not to play the odds beyond that.
...and we was pronounced dead later...
I am sure they wouldn't want to jump the gun on that pronouncement.

It sounds as if he was an experienced sky diver. For some reason he hit the tail, and no doubt that screwed up his chute.
End of the day, maybe he was tired, got careless, and didn’t jump out of the plane properly.
I must admit, sky diving is not my idea of fun.
