Worked in an Airborne unit for a few years.

Cause of death:Impact.

The guys used to read a parachuting magazine, back end article every month was as listed above. The magazine look at fatal accidents and tried to use that as a safety lesson.

It is long past time to repeal the law of gravity.

Hasn’t technology advanced far enough to ensure functioning parachute packs? Or some sort of backup ripline of sorts?

Remember the nurse who doctored patients’ IV drips and meds because she was a serial killer?

What would that personality look like in a parachute org?

She’ll never have to do that again...

Nineteen people have died there since the facility opened in the early 1980s, with six of them between 2016 and 2018.

Who in their right mind would go to a facility that has had 6 fatalities in 2 years? That's like playing Russian Roulette.

Very little information provided. Was the cord pulled? Was the chute tangled and unable to open? Was there a reserve chute? Was the cord pulled too late for the chute to open?

Toward the end of my "stellar" Army career I did a Reserve summer camp at Cutler Army Hospital at Ft Devens,Massachusetts.

Coming back from lunch one day I saw a chopper taking off from the front lawn of the hospital,which I thought was strange.Turns out they had just delivered a bird Colonel from the Natick Labs (an Army research complex about 20 miles away) whose still-in-development parachute didn't open.

They took him directly to the Pathology Department.
