I wonder if there was (helmet) video, from the victim or other parachutists.

I’d like to know how well she was packing her chute, getting casual can kill you.

And I’d like to know her position in the air when she pulled. Was she casual about that?

Once tangled in her main chute, if she could not “cut it away,” deploying the backup may not be possible.

Not a good time to set your altimeter 100 feet from the ground. It is always smart to set it before making a controlled exit from an aircraft while in flight.
